Peter, I believe you are confusing frames, or possibly "inline" frames, with tiles. The tile definition assembles the components of a page and hands that completed page back to your client's browser. If your tiles defintion includes parts such as a header, footer, navigation bar, and main (i.e. "center") content, EVERYTHING will be assembled into a page and returned to the client.
To update only a section of the open browser's content, you will likely need either frames or "inline frames". For more information on frames, see the HTML 4.01 spec. A brief tutorial on frames is available free from the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) at: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/frames.html One particular link at the bottom of that page can direct you to a section on "inline frames".

I keep getting the entire login.jsp page instead of it refeshing the body only. Peter __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
