There is another option to get around that restriction. It is what Howard calls my "mutant" application. I have one Frame.html/Frame.page/Frame.java. 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 -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Bulling on behalf of Andreas Bulling Sent: Thu 6/1/2006 2:29 PM To: Tapestry users Subject: Re: Border question On 01.

Then abstract it backwards into a component that creates the HTML on-the-fly. Then just add that component/components to each page. Or put them all in a border page and change out the interior. Is this the best practice for implementing for example a breadcrumb or a multi-level menue? The problem is caused by Tapestry's component-based approach: You have to define the "logical order" (the tree-structure) of your pages manually in a seperate file, directly in the pages or in a not portable component. That's more difficult than in a actions/operations-based approach... :-( Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
