Hi Josh, Seth et al,
I've tried the other solution. :-D
class Examplish < Shoes
url "/", :index
url "/new", :new_window
def index
header self
para link "make a new window", :click => "/new"
end
def new_window
window :title => 'child' do
owner.header self
para "a new window"
end
end
def header win
win.para "header : #{win}\n"
end
end
Shoes.app :title => 'parent'
