Duh, had a typo in the code I sent. std.tg_js points to TG's js
static drectory, so Mochikit lives at ${std.tg_js}/Mochikit.js. (not $
{std.tg_js}/js/Mochikit.js)
The "std" variable is sent to every template by TG, you don't need to
explicitly set it, just access it from the template and you're done.
BTW, IIRC "std" has been deprecated in favor of "tg", so it should be
${tg.tg_js}.
Hope it makes things a little bit clearer,
Alberto
