[Chameleon] Widget Crosstalk

[Paul Spencer]

Abe,

although this is somewhat frowned on :) (widgets are supposed to be 
independent), you can do it within the framework:

1) use a session variable to indicate the visibility, have one widget 
update it and the other determine its visibility based on the contents

2) use a SharedResource (same result basically)

3) use template preprocessor

As long as you write both widgets to work if the other widget is not in 
the page, then you should probably use 1) above to do this.

Cheers

Paul
