Howard:

I've read your reply a couple of times and unless I'm being totally dense
(possible), you've responded with something that has nothing to do with my
original question.  I'm familiar with the fact that I can use frames with
Tapestry.  I'm doing that now (see the example I included with the post that
Geoff responded to).  What I really want to know is whether an action that
takes place in one frame can easily be redirected to another.  For example,
two frames, each a Tapestry Page:

 _______________________________
|              menu             |
|_______________________________|
|             content           |
|_______________________________|

Several buttons appear in the menu:

 _______________________________
|  item1  |   item2  |   item3  |
|_______________________________|

Press item1 and the Item1 page shows up in the content frame.  Same for
item2, etc.

If I'm using straight html, I can include a target attribute in either my
anchor specification or in the base href for my page and the correct page
appears in the content frame.  My impression is that Tapestry (a) ignores
the content of the anchor markup and (b) provides its own base href via the
shell component.  Looking at the Tapestry docs I see nothing that leads me
to believe that a link (Tapestry's equivalent of an anchor, yes?), or the
Tapestry supplied base href can specify a target frame.  No doubt there are
some things that can be done to address this issue, but shouldn't it be as
straight-forward as binding a 'target' parameter for a component link?

Forgive me if I'm totally missing the boat here.  I'm questioning my sanity
after reading your response.  Maybe it is all obvious and I'm the only one
who can't see it.  Its a Bad Day at Black Rock if so.

Prepared to eat crow,

Craig
