Hello Heikki,POSTS or any links which navigate to other HQU pages will not necessarily be wrapped up in the HQ UI (Q2). I would suggest you take a look at using AJAX style calls like what is done in the gconsole code. Simply execute the AJAX method on the server, then innerHtml the response that it gives you. This will keep things wrapped up nicely and provide the illusion of page navigation.-- JonOn May 29, 2008, at 12:37 PM, Heikki Toivonen wrote:> I am trying to build an HQU plugin that has a form to ask some
