[Twisted-web] Subclassing a subclass of rend.Page

[Patrick B. Day]

Arg! Sorry! It was actually a weird indenting thing where there wasn't an
error but my program behavior changed in a way I've never come across
before. (I'm working from userdb.py as my basis but I use tabs instead of
spaces.)

BTW I was coding my own web app stuff until I found Nevow. I'm impressed -
finally someone realizes that sticking code in html documents is a not the
greatest approach for web "applications". Thanks for your efforts and
getting back to me so quickly.

-Pat.
