<p><font class="fixed_width" face="Courier, Monospaced">I want to have a DWIMy page component system so that page controls can be called out and "Do The Right Thing". Example: <br> </font></p>
<p><font class="fixed_width" face="Courier, Monospaced">I have a
calendar input widget set that requires pieces of HTML,
JavaScript, and CSS, which need to be exposed in the container page; a
script tag in the "head", a 'div' that needs to appear early on
inside the "body" tag, and the 'input' tag that has event handlers that
usethe earlier script tag. <br> </font></p>
<font class="fixed_width" face="Courier, Monospaced">I'd like a system
that abstract the container page, that lets me develop the calendar
control component as if it were the containing page, but when
added/included/embedded in the container page the system smartly places
the control component elements in the correct part of the containing
page. The clincher is the second add of the calendar widget
doesn't duplicate the 'script' and 'div' tags, but only interjects the
'input' tag for the second control. </font>
