Question. When I use an action to display a form as the content of the page,
then the form is embedded in the page with the standard headers and footers. 

However, when I do the same thing with the action code as a result of a form
submission, it appears that I'm supposed to supply the http headers myself,
and there's no navibar, title or footer. How would you normally provide those?
I found the http_headers method in the request object, but I'm not sure of the
rest. 

For example, I have a submission form populated via an action here

http://opag.ca/wiki/MichaelSoulier?action=OpagNews&do=show_form

When you click on preview, I had to supply the http headers myself, and
there's no page header or footer. 

Help?

Thanks,
Mike
