Hi,

I just found some info on the Net (finally). While you pointed out in 
the right direction, it won't work. Here is what I found:

=============================================
it looks like RECORDS does not support full stdWrap featurers.
thats what i have seen after a look in the TS-ref. but you could use a COA
to get the full stdWrap Features


<TypoScript><![CDATA[
     1 =COA
     1 {
stdWrap.required = 1
stdWrap.wrap = <!--TYPO3SEARCH_begin--><div  
id="content_r">|</div><!--TYPO3SEARCH_end-->
     10= RECORDS
     10.source.current=1
     10.tables = tt_content
     }
  ]]></TypoScript>
=============================================

And it works. For the rest, you're right. I'll then be able to fix the 
rest with CSS.

I don't know if this has been used very often (due to the difficulty I 
had to find the answer, I would say no), but wouldn't be helpful to have 
the opportunity, at mapping time, to tell that this EL is to be ripped 
of when empty?   Just a checkbox would do the job....

Thanks for helping me out.
