I can leave it till 2.0 is released.
 
I am currently using this code in 3 projects, so its stable, and its a 
fairly small change.
 
1 new property on abstractUiTag
2 if statements
 
But... I'll leave it till after the release.
 
When is the release ?
 
:)

    Well, it sounds somewhat useful, but right now I'm not that
    interested in new features but rather making sure the ones 1.3 are
    all supported and we have cleared out all our bugs. Maybe in a
    release after 2.0?

        I meant to mention that this isn't in the CVS repo currently. 
         
        It is an extension that I am using on some projects.

            templates for re-use
            I have implemented an extension to the AbstractUITag and the
            /templates/xhtml/controlheader.vm and controlfooter.vm to
            allow me to re-use the ui components with different layouts.
             
            What I have done is added a new property of the ui tags
            called "controlTemplate"
             
            this specifies the name of the controlhead and controlfooter
            tempaltes to use instead of the defaults.
             
            This allows the same input controls to be used with
            different layouts.
             
            The modification that I have made to controlheader.vm is :
            ** 
            *#if* ($tag.controlTemplate)
              *#if*($tag.controlTemplate != "")
                *#parse* ("${theme}${tag.controlTemplate}-header.vm")
              *#end*
            *#else*
            * ## default contents*
            *#end*
             
            and a similiar pattern in the footer.
             
            Then, if you use
             
            <ww:textfield controlTemplate="filterbox"  name="name"/>
             
            you can have filterbox-header.vm and filterbox-footer.vm in
            the /templates/xhtml folder to layout the label and errors
            differently.
             
            Is this something that other people want included in the core ?
             
            Cameron.
