Hi,

I have shown the snapshot of my MyPage.html, Header.html, and MyPageModel class of MyPage.java following this message.  MyPage.java basically
combines Header.html, Footer.html, and other html files into MyPage.html, and is working fine. 

To add a new page of similar kind, say Page1, I copied MyPage.java to Page1.java and MyPage.html to Page1.html. In Page1.java,class name changed 
to Page1(and other relevant changes),and in Page1.html, all "Dir::Get_Data.MyPage.???" became "Dir::Get_Data.Page1.???" (id became "Page1" etc).

But,I have a problem with Header.html's "Dir::Get_Data.MyPage.Link1" (a BLink). To make it work for Page1, I have to
change it to "Dir::Get_Data.Page1.Link1", I guess,which means I may have to have separate Header.html file for each new pages
(not good approach, since Header.html is supposed to be for sharing).  

How can solve this problem,or am not to use Blink, but directly use <a href="somedomain.com/~link1" in Header.html file?

Or can I do something in Page1.java within "if(key.equals("Link1")" to make it work? 

Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

Damar
