@
PaulD, You described your example as a view. I read it several times but my brain did not accept it. What confused me was you had four "$this->load->view() stmts in the example. My basic understanding for all the time I've spent learning CI is that a view is an html file or fragment. And "$this->load->view()" is a method of the CI controller class and therefore can only be invoked from within a controller. And so my brain told me I was looking at a controller - even though you clearly said it was an example of as view. If I can call the load method from within an html file (view) as your example shows then I think that makes the whole problem disappear. I'll try that.
