Re: Wicket and Menu support
Depending on how your menus are supposed to be defined, you could statically put them into your markup or dynamically create them by using a ListView or similar. A nested HTML list structure, as already suggested, usually works best. There are a lot of ready-to-use CSS examples and JavaScript libraries to handle such menus, if you don't want to write it yourself.

I would appreciate if some basic form of menu is made part of wicket core. Wicket is one of the few frameworks that leave you in full control of your markup, which means that it does not provide a lot of ready-to-include components that include markup and a full style. Instead it works more like casting your markup to Java components, so your HTML code becomes accessible from Java. There are of course some ready-to-use components in wicket-stuff etc. but less in Wicket core. This way, you are not forced to follow an HTML structure or CSS classes someone else wrote that may clash with the design you had in mind (modal dialogs are one exception, apart from that and trees I can't think of many standard components that use a noticeable amount of their own HTML/CSS). If you want to avoid HTML/CSS as far as possible, other frameworks may fit better. For example, you can avoid HTML/CSS almost completely with Vaadin or GWT if you don't need any custom layout (if you do, it can be a lot of work to style it). And then there are a lot of frameworks that are easier to style but require you to write some HTML/CSS yourself. If you want to stay with Wicket, you should get more comfortable with HTML and CSS (which will take a lot of exercise to get it right) or leave writing templates up to a web designer, which (due to a good separation of templates and code) is far easier in Wicket than with other frameworks. In most cases, you can simply take a design, add Wicket XML tags/attributes to it and start using that template from your code. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org

You could find a lot of those on google search. I used with satisfaction jquery.treeview.js with 3 level menu and wicket:link statically http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Treeview P.S. Jquery now, with wicket 6, is internally supported by wicket core. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org

Thanks to every one for all of your comments and suggestions. Great to know that wicket core will include jquery. Alle, I would appreciate very much if you can please share your code for using jquery tree. It would give me a good start.

Re: Wicket and Menu support
Is there any documentation on this jquery support in wicket 6? I'm setting up a new project ARM and instead of including all kinds of side kick projects, core support is preferable.

Wicket and Menu support
Wicket is a great product and I really hope that I do not offend any one by my question. Indeed this may be due to my lack of information. What I want to know is why does not Wicket 'core' supports menu and other items necessary to develop a website? I have to search for YUI wicket, wicket-stuff, and wicket-extensions, which are some what phantom like websites. After some research I find that the code I am looking for is not even supported any more. The kind developer has moved on to other stuff. So what is the qualification for you to include a control(?) into the Wicket 'core'? What is the suggested way to handle stuff like this? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Wicket-and-Menu-support-tp4540516p4540516.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
Re: Wicket and Menu support
IMHO, Wicket as the largest number of out of the box components of all the frameworks that i know. For such things as menus, are they not 'ulli' that have been styled the way you want.. I think the key thing is ... if you are not familiar with HTML and CSS, you may not like wicket. Because if leaves writting html and styling the elements to you. Josh.

Re: Wicket and Menu support
Well you are right that I am not good with html and css. As I say I have been forced to do GUI work - kicking and screaming. Well, I think I am OK with html but this CSS thing leaves me very frustrated. I thought that the idea behind Wicket is to take care of these things for Java programmers. I would appreciate if some basic form of menu is made part of wicket core. BTW, thanks for the ULli hint.
