Thanks, Derek. Actually, I don't use .html or even "add" (all my html 
files are called index.html -- I use directories to sort them). This 
error came when I was experimenting to see if that made a difference.

That said, I get the error all the time. I don't have val dispatch... in 
my snippets. But that's because I copied the JPADemo over, and your 
AuthorOps and BookOps don't have the val dispatch either. But the 
JPADemo doesn't get this error.

Also, my edit functions don't work -- the forms are not populated 
properly. I thought I had it working a minute ago, and now it isn't again.

I switched the snippets around a bit and dropped the bind (because I 
wanted to color code alternate rows and wasn't sure how to do it 
otherwise). Here is an example:

snippet/Category.scala:

import scala.xml.{NodeSeq,Text}

import net.liftweb.http.{RequestVar,S,SHtml}
import net.liftweb.util.Helpers
import S._
import Helpers._

import Model._

class CategoryOps {
   val formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy")

   def getRowClass(r: Int) = {
     if (r % 2 == 0) "even" else "odd"
   }

   def list: NodeSeq = {
     <tr valign="top" align="left">
       <th class="text">Name</th>
       <th class="integer">Links</th>
       <th class="blank"> </th>
       <th class="blank"> </th>
     </tr> ::
 
Model.createNamedQuery[Category]("findAllCategories").getResultList().toList.zipWithIndex.flatMap(c
 
=> <tr valign="top" class={getRowClass(c._2)}>
       <td class="text">{c._1.name}</td>
       <td class="integer">{SHtml.link("/links/search/", {() =>
              WeblinkOps.resultVar(Model.createNamedQuery[Weblink](
   "findWeblinksByCategory", "id" -> category.id).getResultList().toList)
         }, Text(category.weblinks.size().toString))}</td>
       <td class="edit">{SHtml.link("editor", () => 
categoryVar(category), Text("Edit"))}</td>
       <td class="delete"> </td>
     </tr>)
   }

   object categoryVar extends RequestVar(new Category())
   def category = categoryVar.is

   def editor (xhtml : NodeSeq) : NodeSeq = {
     def addOrUpdate () = {
       if (category.name.length == 0) {
        error("emptyCategory", "The category's name cannot be blank")
       } else {
        Model.merge(category)
        redirectTo("/admin/categories/")
       }
     }

     val currentId = category.id

     <form method="POST" action="">
       <table class="editor" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
         <tr valign="top" align="left">
           <th>Name</th>
           <td>{SHtml.text(category.name, category.name = _)}</td>
         </tr>
         <tr valign="top" align="left">
           <th>{SHtml.hidden({category.id = currentId})} </th>
           <td>{SHtml.submit("Save", addOrUpdate)}</td>
         </tr>
       </table>
     </form>
   }
}

webapp/admin/categories/editor/index.html:

<lift:surround with="default" at="content">
   <h2>Categories</h2>
   <table class="list">
     <lift:CategoryOps.list/>
   </table>
</lift:surround>

And in Boot.scala:

Menu(Loc("categories", List("admin", "categories", "index"),
     "Categories", LocGroup("admin")),
   Menu(Loc("categories_add", List("admin", "categories", "editor",
     "index"), "Add a New Category", Hidden))
),

ANY suggestions for how to do any of this better greatly appreciated. Do 
I need to add the val dispatch... part? If so, why is this different 
from the JPADemo?

Thanks!
Chas.
