Thanks, David. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the foundParam.
Using your code, I have: val loc = for {req <- S.request; loc <- req.location} yield loc val l = loc openOr "Couldn't open" println(loc) println(l) The first println give me: Full(Loc(View List(nodes), <function>, LinkText(<function>), List())) While the second shows that I am opening the Box: Loc(View List(nodes), <function>, LinkText(<function>), List()) If I try to access my Loc object, I get compilation errors. For example, "val p = l.foundParam" leads to the error "value foundParam is not a member of java.lang.Object." The toString method works, while the title parameter gives me the same error. I believe I am using the latest Lift code (I ran "mvn -U jetty:run") and feel I must be missing something very simple here. Any advice is much appreciated!
