I didn't know that. But in that case maybe TurboGears need a better way to create reusable html markup generators? > > item1..itemX are either plain text strings or they are contained > > widgets.

The reason I need it is because I need to embed the above html inside a TableForm. The TableForm takes a list of fields as its parameter and all of the fields need to be widgets. -- mvh Björn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
