I don't think that's correct - you can use this technique to include javascript or css files from a view file, so I don't see any reason why you can't from within an element, the html helper isn't aware of the file that's called it. In cake 1.1 there was a define in core.php which forced all (default cakephp) helpers to echo rather than return, but I think that's been removed in 1.2. I realise this hasn't helped much! j -- jon bennett - www.jben.net - blog.jben.net Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
