[Laszlo-user] Setting the parent of a tag

[J Crowley]

You can set up constraints afterward, using applyConstraint().  In,  
say, handler="oninit" or something.  For instance:

var f = function(){
		        	this.setAttribute("width",
						(parent.width / parent.subviews.length);
		      	}
		      	var d = [parent, "width"];
		      	this.applyConstraint("width", f, d);
