Spent all weekend looking at this, and I know I'm just missing something. I've got a small photo gallery app with two components. One component grabs all the 'albums' from the db on initialize and displays them in a TileList. When you click on one of the tiles, the second component should fire off a request to the HTTPService to get the images that belong to that album and display them. At this point, I've tried everything I can think of. I thought I found the answer in passing the album id to a form on the second component and firing the lookup on the change event. For some reason, however, it will only fire if I key in the album id by hand. Anyone have any ideas? TIA -c-
