[ZPT] Page Template as standard_error_message

Sun, 23 Sep 2001 12:35:48 -0700

Hmmm, after sending this message I realize that it's only a problem if
the metal:use-macro attribute is on the <html> tag or any tag outside
the <html> tag. I can get the desired effect by placing it on <span>
tags right within the <html> tags.

I'm not sure that's logical behavior, but it's an acceptable workaround.

Is there some reason why metal:use-macro shouldn't appear on the html
tag on most pages? Until I hit this problem, that seemed like the best
place for it in many cases.
