Not really addressing your issue but I'm surprised by the negative sentiment towards target containers. 9 times out of 10, I've found target containers to be exceptionally helpful in creating an easy to edit project with less maintenance overhead than if foundation content class instances were used for every page. There are scenarios where they can be a hindrance but this goes for technology/technique. Disclaimer: The above applies to NON Navigation Manager projects. Once Nav Man becomes involved, target containers are only useful on leaf pages at the end of your tree structure.
