Andy, thanks for your reply. It turns out the problem I was having with slideto and slideby was because the tacos user guide is wrong. I discovered this using firebug and by including dojo.js.uncompressed.js instead of dojo.js. These are things that I'm sure everyone knows but I just discovered them, and maybe I can help another newbie.
In http://tacos.sourceforge.net/userguide/EffectsPopups.html, the doc for slideto says: {[comp/elm id]:'[duration], [endCoords]'} The correct order of arguments is: {[comp/elm id]:'[endCoords],[duration]'} Thanks, Julian ----- Original Message ---- From: andyhot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Julian Sinai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tacos Developers <tacos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 5, 2006 10:49:35 AM Subject: Re: [Tacos-devel] Newbie: custom component tutorial?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. > You generally have to define the updateComponents parameter (in AjaxDirectLink, AjaxForm, e.t.c.). They define which components are going to be refreshed - rerendered. When the ajax response is received, tacos updates the client html and applies the effects that have been registered for them. So, if a response does not contain a component, you can't have an effect on it. > Many thanks. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
