that helped indeed.

this sounds like some original idea of building a catalog of 
widget-definitions to be reused over all forms
(which I think is more generic then just having reuse inside one 
definition file, but not implemented though)


but it also sounds like one of the new widgets Timothy is cracking up: 
http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=TimLarson

(pls check up on the class widget on that page)
