It is possible to have both types of functionality (with full page reload and with asynchronous request) in just one component. Check this out, does it look like something you need: http://www.superinterface.com/jspcontrols/tabcontrol/index.jsp
If you have modern browser that supports XMLHTTPRequest and has Javascript turned on, the tab panels will be reloaded using In-Place Update (Ajax). If you have Javascript turned off or you have, say Netscape 4, then the page will be refreshed. Notice that this would be a redirect, not a forward, so you can refresh it manually after that with no warnings. Also, with redirect you get the same user experience, because page locations are not piled in browser page history. The tabs in the demo were created using JSP Controls Tag Library: http://jspcontrols.sourceforge.net/ Michael J. >From: Yujun Liang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> >To: Struts Users Mailing List <user@struts.apache.org> >Subject: Re: tabs is struts >Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2005 09:02:42 +1100 > >On web page, there are two kinds of tabs, >1.
