Re: REPOST: Question on Frames within Tiles
IE on mac used the same dom as standard frames. Although I imagine that you can use getElementById for IE 6 as well as other browsers. document.all is a legacy dom from ie4 , if you're support NS4 then you can use a div and load content into that and drill using document.layers[mydiv]. The extra work required for ns4 will probably make it an undesirable activity to engage in, as you may also need to sniff the width and height of the window and then position where the display area (iframe) should be. There's also a reload issue with ns4 where you need to reload when users change window sizes. Most punks you see site building these days seem to think that only supporting IE6 is okay, even though its marred client-side development with its support for poorly formed html. getElementById is probably the best way to support mozilla, ie5+, safari to name a few. document.all support in ie6 i imagine is legacy support.

RE: REPOST: Question on Frames within Tiles
fantastic, the iframes seem to work. One further question though. the response to the form being submitted, is that the struts action class forwards to a tile definition. The problem is that the result just displays within the frame that is submitted. I was hoping that the entire page is replaced with the response. any suggestions?? thanks again. -Original Message- From: Anand Patil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 4:26 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: REPOST: Question on Frames within Tiles I have done this in Internet Explorer.
