No sorry, Roy - I probably should have been more specific. In looking over your implementation, I noticed you were using the default valid elements which is a small subset of XHTML - some kind soul created a big ol list of all XHTML to use with the verify. In pasting in my test document, I noti

No to pure div render. I posted very pre-pre-alpha as a sort of preview because you seemed interested. Yesterday I made some significant changes that corrects some cross-browser problems. The CSS is based on various techniques out there. I'll try to get something more formal posted on the foru

What I came up with is to kick the Maximize altogether. The reason for this is two-fold. One - there's no precident for maximize out there "in-the-wild". i.e. There's no web sites to my recollection that I've visited over the past five years that have maximize button. SO - this could be consid

I'm getting kind of far on a new improved version of myLayout that does 3 columns with header and footer. This version will be tableless, standards based and more. I was saving the divrender for last but I'll try to get something working there. I can tell you already that the Maximize functiona

You know, I'm re-reading this and I'm liking more the idea of keeping the "layout" of the document out of reach of the web designer, i.e. jsp/CSS. If you want an easy to use themeing system, you probably should keep that in a Java class and keep it as an "Advanced" topic. I was thinking that if

Ok, good. I'd already started a project in Eclipse to start on this. It's interesting that you mention "ID". In muling over my "perfect world", I'd thought that it would be clever to attach an ID attribute to everything - but in thinking about the CSS involved, this ID would necessarily need to

Martin, I'm interested in creating my own version of org.jboss.portal.theme.impl.render.DivDecorationRenderer Then I'm guessing I would change portal-renderSet.xml: org.slholmes.MyDivDecorationRenderer Is it intended that developers can create our own Java class for this? I'd like simply to ch

I spent a good chunk of the holiday weekend getting Portal to work. The first thing I did was download both JBoss and Portal distribution - but the way this was set up, you really couldn't follow along with the user's guide. So I downloaded JBoss 4.0.3 separately, got that working good with no e
