This is a proposal in response to this bug, which came up when someone named a child view "layout", and got unexpected results in a view.
http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-5799 The current compiler behavior is that it will allow you to declare a child with the same name as an attribute, as long as the attribute has a null default value. This proposal is that we add a new LZX attribute type, "node", which you can use to declare that an attribute name can have the same name as child node. So for example you could have <class name="myclass"> <attribute name="titleview" type="node"/> <handler name="oninit"> </class> -- Henry Minsky Software Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED]
