site.mainLayout defines the overall page. The "mainbody" portion will vary depending on the page called. As in the xml file, mainbody will display a group of portals on the left and right side of the screen with a larger html section in the middle addressed by "bodycontent". The problem (as I see it) is that to get this to work I need to duplicate code in both "home.page.layout" and "logon.page.layout". Is it possible to do an additional "extends" somewhere so that will eliminate the duplication of code so that a scope change (what the users want to see) can be addressed in a single location of the xml file?
Later, aj
