I think the point, that is trying to get across is the same point that many people have posted. Users want the ability to click on a link or button inside of a portlet and have their info popup inside that portlet area, not taking up the entire page or even opening up in a new window.
I hope that the point is a tad bit clearer. SO i guess the word to used in his message was portlet instead of portal.

However, i am trying to understand your question. As i read your question, i conclude that you are "muddying the waters". (this is just my small little opinion - and not meant to be derogatory in any way.) the meaning of a portal is "a perspective on information". the term portal origianted out of Merril Lynch. Information is arranged to give a user specific information for that individual's ROLE. In other words, a customer of a web site has different information needs than a supplier. Both of their perspectives and needs for information are different from the plant manager. i merely do not understand the chaining of flow of portals - this makes no sense to me. it may be mere semantics - but semantics are important - it embodies how we communicate. i understand the need to pipeline a set of events as the manner of Cocoon. I understand the need to create different screens and provide some order to them. i am trying to understand the need to create a flow of portals. please do not let my inability to understand your question get in the way of a quality answer. but, a re-wording of the question would help me to better understand your needs. thanx, Ray ---------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED][SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Reply To: Jetspeed Users List Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 4:23 PM To: Jetspeed Users List Subject: Jetspeed Portal Usage Can someone please tell me how I can manage content using the portal scheme always. Like a news site...when someone clicks on a link in a portal, I would like that to bring up another portal within the portal set. Can someone please clarify this with me...or atleast point me in the direction of a good tutorial. I have all of my portlets created...I just want to create a flow/connection within them all. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Buy the perfect holiday gifts at Yahoo!
