Re: [xmlc] Headers and footers: msg#00010 java.enhydra.xmlc

Actually, the way I prefer to do this header/footer
stuff is working and avoids the "entire document
inclusion" bug.

I have my design.html that has my header and footer,
with a content div in the middle.
---
<html>
<head>
<title>Design template</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
This is the header for <span id="siteName_1">Widgets
R Us</span>.
<hr/>
</div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div>
<hr/>
This is the footer for <span id="siteName_2">Widgets
R Us</span>.
</div>
</body>
</html>
---

And then, I have my page.html which defines a content
div. And my servlet loads and does dynamic
modification on both design.html and page.html, and
then uses Justin's nifty replace() method to replace
the content div in the design.html with the content
div from page.html. It also substitutes the <head>
tag to get title, css, and javascript information, and
then writes the design.html's dom to the response.
Works great! Even with the divs in both documents
having an id of "content". PROBABLY, it's still
exhibiting the "insert the whole damn document" bug,
but since that's what I want in this case, I don't
mind.

This method of inserting the content document into the
middle of the template document is preferred because
it allows for the content to be placed inside other
tags (like a <td>). Whereas if the header and footer
had to be complete xml entities themselves, you
couldn't place the content inside a table. Therefore
this method is more flexible.

Thanks for all your help, Justin and James,

Erik

P.S. More questions to come, I think... :-)
