question about body tags/templates/views

[John Holland]

I'm trying to understand the intended use of body tags,the body element,
in templates and views. In the hello world app it seems as if there is a
footer div after the body element is called in /home/index.clj. I am
seeing the footer div come after the </body> closing tag in the html
source. Is this correct HTML? Is this the desired behavior? What I
thought was that the footer div should be within the body (in the HTML).
But the only way I can do this is to put the footer material in the
view, not the template.

I'm expecting that I am doing something wrong. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
John Holland

Actually, it sounds like the templates are wrong. The footer should be
within the body tag. I'll have to take a look at it.

More generally, is there a way to build pages out of fragments - so
that say a div in a layout with an id could be associated with the
output of a view or some kind of method?

[Matthew Courtney]

You can call other views from views. Simply import the view you want
to call, then call render-body passing all of your view parameters to
it.

Does that help?

Thanks, that works perfectly.
