Re: I need help with D2W templates

Okay, I don't recall what they are doing in that tutorial but freezing
a component is about the worst thing you can do when you want the
power of D2W. You loose all the advantages you get from the dynamic
page building.

I actually never used any frozen components in my app, so I can't
really comment on that. But still, you should be possible to just swap
out that component with your own subclass.
