In my application at least, the tabelement class cannot contain a datapath with xpath set to http dataset. I had to set the datapath in header and tabelement text classes contained inside the tabelement class. For myself, addressing these issues is significant because I can now start integrating OpenLaszlo with Apache Cocoon, and continue to use NVU and other XML editing tools for content management. So far the boss is happy with the little application (so far only a home page) I've built with OpenLaszlo.

You could make the entire slider dependent on the datapath, that way it will be destroyed/recreated everytime new data is received, or setup sliders that are not data dependent at all, or build your own component to replace it.

The data is contained in flat files. All the editing tools I have tested will randomly include line breaks in the source code for paragraphs and long sentences. This has become problematic in OpenLaszlo, all line breaks are preserved. Since non-technical staff will have responsibility for maintaining content, I cannot expect these staff to be able to go into a text editing tool and remove line breaks. Issue Two: I get different results with a tabslider depending on whether the data is included from a local file or brought in via http. With the local include everything works as expected. With the http method something is not right. The height of the tabslider is expanded several hundred percent which makes no sense. Does bringing in data by the http method produce any side effects not documented? Gary T.
