Adding the call to that method seemed to solve the problem. The places you mentioned are the usual places to look for information. However I searched the list, read the wiki, checked the examples, and looked through some books. I also tried to google what I was trying to do.
It just seemed like this was a pretty common thing to do and I would have thought an answer would have been found much quicker. Do you recommend any books in particular. I have "Wicket in Action" and have ordered "Pro Wicket". Are there other books that I should be looking at? Thanks.

You could use it instead of setOutputMarkupId(true), because its done there to. Otherwise i would have to create a testcase for this situation. There are different places to get informations: - search this list - read the wiki - check the examples - read a wicket book (many good out there) It's all explained on the website. Or do you expect them elsewhere? Cheers Per > I did not override the method. I just did and it is still not > working. Here is what I have: > > Also, where would one find this type of information.
