Simon, the div approach is working just fine. Thanks a lot

Hi, I'm not sure that Tiles is relevant. It allows you to compose a page from different fragments, and easily rearrange the order in which the fragments are output in the response. However if you want some large JSF components (eg a tree with many nodes) to be rendered inside a fixed-size box, with scrollbars to access the bits of the component not currently visible then that's a different issue. And if you want a "split-pane" type effect on the screen so that you can adjust the amount of visible screen allocated to different parts of the page then that's also a different issue. I'm not aware of any JSF components that provide either of these features. For the first one, you might like to try wrapping the target JSF component in a <div> with explicit size and overflow attributes: <div style="width:400; height:400; overflow:scroll"> <t:tree2 .../> </div> I haven't tried this myself but it looks like it might work. An IFrame also presents an embedded scrollable area. However an iframe always needs to pull its content from some other URL, so you'd need to write a separate page containing your tree component. And as this will act within the same session but JSF1.1 doesn't support the concept of separate "windows" within a single session I think this will lead to major headaches; I expect the iframe page access will effectively discard the original page's view when it sees the same session accessing a different view-url. ... <iframe src="/width="400" height="400" scrolling="auto"> </iframe> ... Having a <t:splitPanel> component for the second option would be very cool. However I suspect it would be quite a lot of complicated javascript to implement (if it's possible at all). I'm willing to try to implement this if someone will fund the development :-). Or maybe there's some existing open-source code out there that can be used. I would suggest looking at available JSP tag libraries; I think a standard JSP tag would work fine with JSF tags in this case (as long as there is no parent component with rendersChildren=true?).
