Hi Mike
I know it's probably not an option for you at this stage in your project,
but the way we achieve different L&F for templates is to have only one
template that specifies the CONTENT of the screen with an XML syntax (e.g.
GRIDs, REPORTs, FORMs, etc.), and then have different XSL stylesheets to
transform the XML to different HTML's. You could also use Anakia instead of
XSL of course.
I know you're probably too far along for such a drastic change, but it
really does achieve separation of CONTENT from LAYOUT/FORMATTING.
Cheers,
Frank
