Hi,

I'm feeling a little lost with all these modules and how to get them to 
work together in Pylons.

I have been building templates with Mako and Webhelpers.  I have parent 
templates that define the html head and the html body and then include 
child templates (using Mako's include function) which have the exact 
forms defined in them.  I want to make a child template that has two 
select boxes in it, one for "type" and one for "subtype".  The contents 
of the "subtype" box will be determined dynamically by what the user 
selects in the "type" box via the 'onchange' event handler.

I have no idea the right way to do this.  Some of the problems I am 
encountering are:
-If I create the select box using a webhelper, how do I access the 
currently selected item as a python variable (to pass into the remote 
function I also defined using a webhelper)?
-Since I am in a child template, there is no easy way for me to define 
javascript functions in the html head, correct?
-I'm not sure of how/where I put logic that can populate the defaults of 
the select boxes when the template is first rendered.

Do I need to go higher up and import something like ToscaWidgets to 
build my templates?
Do I need to degrade my templates to explicitly define raw html and 
javascript instead of using webhelpers?

The emphasis of this project is highly modular, reusuable code/templates 
so I need to not hardcode specific logic as much as possible.

Any insight or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
-Ryan
