Thanks seth,
That looks promising, although a bit weird with the ::Shoes thing. I'll
play with that a bit and see how it works. The best thing I could come up
with was a proxy class. like this:
Class SharedCode
def initialize(app)
@app = app
end
def header
para "header"
end
def method_missing(meth, *args, &block)
@app.send(meth, *args, &block)
end
end
this breaks down of course for links because the urls are out of scope. :(
also it is annoying to have to refer to the header method via an instance of
another class. So not really much of a solution there.
Even if your solution works I strongly agree that it would be nice for these
classes to behave normally. I always end up with convenience methods for
frequently used styles and such that should be useable on other windows.
