Re: A question on Tiles and Frames
Overflow is actually a standard CSS feature that IE only partially supports. In Mozilla, you can do this with a lot more elements including tables where the header remains fixed while the data scrolls. K.C.

Re: A question on Tiles and Frames
If you want to use frames then each frame is going to issue it's own request. If you want to hide the JSPs under WEB-INF, then you have to front each request with an action because you can't link to the JSP directly. It probably means replacing your definition with: definition name=associator.masterPage path=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/framesetLayout.jsp put name=title value=Associator / put name=heading value=/Heading.do / put name=codevalue=/EmptyMenu.do / put name=menuvalue=/Menu.do / put name=button value=/Button.do/ put name=textvalue=/Categories.do/ /definition and adding an action mapping to struts-config.xml for each of the items: action path=/Heading type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction parameter=associator.masterPage.heading/ and then another definition in tiles-def.xml: definition name=associator.masterPage.heading path=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/heading.jsp Have to repeat that for code, menu, button, text. So then if a real action wanted to change both code and menu frames, you can create a definition that extends the first definition: definition name=associator.masterPage.newpage extends=associator.masterPage put name=title value=New Definition / put name=codevalue=/NewCodePage.do / put name=menuvalue=/NewMenu.do / /definition I'm not sure if this will work - as it is 2am here and I am about to go to bed :) But it looks ok to my half-closed eyes Jeff Kyser wrote: Hello, I was trying to use a Tile Definition like: definition name=associator.masterPage path=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/framesetLayout.jsp put name=title value=Associator / put name=heading value=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/heading.jsp / put name=codevalue=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/emptyMenu.jsp / put name=menuvalue=/WEB-INF/pages/menu.jsp / put name=button value=/WEB-INF/pages/button.jsp/ put name=textvalue=/WEB-INF/pages/categories.jsp/ /definition with a framesetLayout.jsp that looks like: frameset rows=137,* frameborder=NO border=0 framespacing=0 frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=heading / name=heading scrolling=NO noresize frameset cols=217,* frameborder=NO border=0 framespacing=0 frameset rows=0,* frameborder=NO border=0 framespacing=0 frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=code / name=code frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=menu / name=menu /frameset frameset rows=26%,* frameborder=0 border=0 framespacing=5 cols=* frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=button / name=button noresize/ frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=text / name=text noresize/ /frameset /frameset /frameset but I get Forbidden errors, presumably because my JSPs are beneath the WEB-INF directory and therefore not accessible.

RE: A question on Tiles and Frames
Yeah, you can use iframes too. But I've always stated away from them since apps I worked on had to support older versions of NS. Surprisingly you can create scrollable areas, with dynamically loadable content with not that much effort. There are a couple of x-browser API's that have components for doing this, the one I know off the top of my head is DynAPI, originated at www.dansteinman.com. I think there is a sourceforge project for it as well. -Original Message- From: Hookom, Jacob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 10:26 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: A question on Tiles and Frames I would be using iframes.

Re: A question on Tiles and Frames
Hey Jason, Thanks for putting in the time on a great reply! At this point, am cautiously optimistic that this will work, or rather that I can get it to work. I've got a few frames updating, so it looks like that's just the ticket. Thanks again! -jeff On Friday, June 20, 2003, at 09:17 AM, Jason Lea wrote: If you want to use frames then each frame is going to issue it's own request. If you want to hide the JSPs under WEB-INF, then you have to front each request with an action because you can't link to the JSP directly. It probably means replacing your definition with: definition name=associator.masterPage path=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/framesetLayout.jsp put name=title value=Associator / put name=heading value=/Heading.do / put name=codevalue=/EmptyMenu.do / put name=menuvalue=/Menu.do / put name=button value=/Button.do/ put name=textvalue=/Categories.do/ /definition and adding an action mapping to struts-config.xml for each of the items: action path=/Heading type=org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction parameter=associator.masterPage.heading/ and then another definition in tiles-def.xml: definition name=associator.masterPage.heading path=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/heading.jsp Have to repeat that for code, menu, button, text. So then if a real action wanted to change both code and menu frames, you can create a definition that extends the first definition: definition name=associator.masterPage.newpage extends=associator.masterPage put name=title value=New Definition / put name=codevalue=/NewCodePage.do / put name=menuvalue=/NewMenu.do / /definition I'm not sure if this will work - as it is 2am here and I am about to go to bed :) But it looks ok to my half-closed eyes Jeff Kyser wrote: Hello, I was trying to use a Tile Definition like: definition name=associator.masterPage path=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/framesetLayout.jsp put name=title value=Associator / put name=heading value=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/heading.jsp / put name=code value=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/emptyMenu.jsp / put name=menuvalue=/WEB-INF/pages/menu.jsp / put name=button value=/WEB-INF/pages/button.jsp/ put name=textvalue=/WEB-INF/pages/categories.jsp/ /definition with a framesetLayout.jsp that looks like: frameset rows=137,* frameborder=NO border=0 framespacing=0 frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=heading / name=heading scrolling=NO noresize frameset cols=217,* frameborder=NO border=0 framespacing=0 frameset rows=0,* frameborder=NO border=0 framespacing=0 frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=code / name=code frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=menu / name=menu /frameset frameset rows=26%,* frameborder=0 border=0 framespacing=5 cols=* frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=button / name=button noresize/ frame src=%=request.getContextPath()%tiles:getAsString name=text / name=text noresize/ /frameset /frameset /frameset but I get Forbidden errors, presumably because my JSPs are beneath the WEB-INF directory and therefore not accessible. Is there an alternate way to do this and still have my JSPs underneath WEB-INF? (Basically, I have a frames-based layout with a scrollable panel, and am trying to figure out how to best implement that feature using Struts/Tiles without exposing all my JSPs.
