[Laszlo-user] Setting the parent of a tag

[P T Withington]

Does it not work to either set the `placement` attribute of `oneview`  
and `anotherview`?  Or to give them a `determinePlacement` method as  
in example [30.19](http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps/docs/guide/class- 
inheritance.html#d0e17794)?  That's what placement is all about --  
putting a view somewhere other than where it would be by default.
