Hi all.
Question about this:
Suppose i have many pages that requires different styles and scripts
but results too heavy to put them all on the decorator's head. How can
i load specific scripts on different templates?
Is there any tag that can be used to attach anything to the decorator
from the template?
something like <lift:bind name="content" /> or the opposite of
lift:snipped
After looking around lift examples and code i didn't find a hint. do i
missing something?
thanks.

Oddly enough, I was just dealing with a very similar issue.
The answer comes in two parts.
First, (after checking out head from SVN), you can do the following:
<lift:surround with="default" extra_script="foo"/>
The attributes passed are now available in S.attr("extra_script")
In your template, you can have a <lift:snippet type="Util:processExtraScript"/>
class Util {
def processExtraScript = S.attr("extra_script").map(n => <script src={"/scripts/"+n+".js"}/>).openOr(Nil)
}
What this does is it allows you to define an extra script in the page that's surrounding itself. In the surround template, you can process the attributes.
Sound reasonable?
Thanks,
David

With the version 0.4 (SNAPSHOT)you could declare <head>...</head>
inside you snippet (at any level) and the content will be moved to the
html/head section.
ex:
template :
<html>
<head>
<title>foo</title>
</head>
<body>
</html>
page :
<lift:surround with="default" at="content">
<head>
<script src="myscript.js"></script>
<style>
...
</style>
</head>
<h2>Welcome to the your project!</h2>
</lift:surround>
=>
<html>
<head>
<title>foo</title>
<script src="myscript.js"></script>
<style>
...
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Welcome to the your project!</h2>
</body>
</html>
It's possible to have many head, and generate head from snippet.ù

Hey DaveB!
I still think the <lift:inject>-suggestion looks way cleaner.
(though I agree that it takes more code and consideration to implement)
Cheers man!
