you mean from a gambas application containing several WebPages? a mini per-application cms?
without restrictions this may introduce security risks on particular programs, right? (i think of a
login program from which one may get a privileged Page when implemented without restrictions)
in this regard, i would prefer some special subroutine that may or may not be overwritten (if not,
WebPages may be chosen automatically, which is often a good service!) in that application to
evaluate parameters.

i haven't used any WebPage so far, i just read about it here, so i may have a wrong understanding of
how it works and where it would be used. sorry if that's the case.

regards,
tobi
