Yes, the version that will allow you to call setHTML()
to change the template.

Cool. The next preview release will allow you to add
images to the template one of two ways:

tp.addChild(img1);
or
tp.setField('img1',img1.getHTML());

If the first option becomes to difficult then I'll use
the latter.

These will be part of the Template() object

Glad you like it.

I think I will be using template manager (tm) for most
of if not all my dynapi apps.
