Hi all,

I am doing some pretty cool stuff with Xara and jquery, and it's amazing how close Xara comes to being the *ideal* tool for dynamic website development.

One of the issues I'm having is that I'd like to group some items...but as soon as I do that, Xara bakes the group into a PNG file, and all my links, HTML placeholders, etc. go away. :-( I'm building a registration form that stays hidden until the user clicks "register", and the form slides in from the side. I can do this with a popup layer, but I don't have quite enough control over it using Xara's built-in functionality.

Seems logical and natural to me that Xara should treat (or have the option of treating) a group as simply a Div...so I can name it and manipulate it in jquery.

Making it a soft group doesn't bake it into an image, but also doesn't put it into a div. And separate layers also have no effect on the output.

Is there a way to get Xara to group things into a div?

Thanks so much!
