How to get hold of the Border from a page

["F. Da Costa Gomez" <dc...@fixed.com>]

Hi,

Situation:
Page X uses a @Border which contains an area for result reporting (just a 
simple String).
There is no Visit object yet so that cannot be used.

Q: If I do something on X what would be the way to show the result in the 
result area of the containing Border? Irrespective of the fact whether X is 
replaced with another page (or not).

Thx 4 the help,

Fermin DCG

I'm doing something like this in the new Virtual Library.  The Border
component has an area that contains paging controls for the Browser.

In my case, I pass in the Browser instance as an optional parameter to the
Border.

You may want to look at the Block and RenderBlock components.  They are
basically ways of passing a chunk of a template to another component as a
parameter.
