Thanks, Naftoli -- so are you suggesting a separate template for the TD and for the TR? bind the TD template, and then concatenate them up for each row?
nevertheless, I started out with this: var columns : Set def buildHeader : NodeSeq = { <TR>{columns.map{<TD>{_}</TD>}.reduceLeft(_+_)) }</TR> } but i couldn't figure out the right incantation, and went for the easy way out def buildHeader : NodeSeq = { val result="<TR>" + (if (columns.isEmpty) "" else columns.map {"<TD>" + _ + "</TD>"}.reduceLeft(_+_)) + "</TR>" XML.loadString(result) } On Oct 26, 4:47 pm, Naftoli Gugenheim <naftoli...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry I can't give you code, but the key here is the the BindParam can take a > function from a NodeSeq to a NodeSeq.
