Hi Carl, You should use some sort of JavaScript based menu generation solution. They are plenty of them, most of them allow you to configure menu generation based on some sort of configuration file, or you can even handle the JS been written on the fly by your web engine. Personally I use:
FREESTYLE MENUS v1.0 RC (c) 2001-2005 Angus Turnbull, http://www.twinhelix.com It is generated via an HTML List, like this: <span> <ul class="menulist" id="listMenuRoot"> <li><a href="#" jwcid="@ActionLink" listener="ognl: listeners.goHome ">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Catálogos</a> <ul> <li><a href="#" jwcid="@ActionLink" listener="ognl: listeners.goVistaRegion">Regiones.</a> </li> <li><a href="#" jwcid="@ActionLink" listener="ognl: listeners.goVistaDistrito">Distritos.</a> </li> <li><a href="#" jwcid="@ActionLink" listener="ognl: listeners.goVistaFuerza">Fuerzas.</a> </li> </ul> <!----- .... ---- !> <li><a jwcid="@ServiceLink" service="restart" href="void(0)">Salir</a></li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- Script menu starts here var listMenu = new FSMenu('listMenu', true, 'visibility', 'visible', 'hidden'); listMenu.cssLitClass = 'highlighted'; var arrow = null; if (document.createElement && document.documentElement) { arrow = document.createElement('span'); arrow.appendChild(document.createTextNode('>')); arrow.className = 'subind'; } addEvent(window, 'load', new Function('listMenu.activateMenu("listMenuRoot", arrow)')); //Script menu ends here --> </script> <hr /> </span> Regards, --- Omar V.M.

Hi Mark, sounds as a solution even if I don't understand what you were trying to explain... Some sample code would help a lot, is there something you can show us/commit to one of the widely known Tapestry repositories? Cheers, Andreas On 01.

All of my other pages are popups. There are about 5 or 6 of those. In addition, I have 130 "components". None of my components have any border content, it is all in the "Frame". As part of the Frame I have Breadcrumbs and something we call Headcrumbs. Headcrumbs are a higher level menu. So, we can have a bunch of "breadcrumbs" within each headcrumb. Headcrumbs are a group of "breadcrumbs". Breadcrumbs are reusable across multiple Headcrumbs. Any one breadcrumb knows nothing about any of its fellow breadcrumbs in a headcrumb. | | Basically, we have a wizard application with 130 screens. | | The border component replaces pages, we have one page that replaces components. There is an age-old Tapestry question about whether you create components or pages? What is your level of re-use? We chose re-use at the level of components. | | regards, | | Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
