How to set up left and right nav bar in JSF page ?

[saravvij]

Hello,

Without using frames, how can we divide the JSF pages into different regions for Left nav bar, right nav bar , masthead and two independent horizontal regions in the body?

I am using Sun JSF1.2, RichFaces, Facelets

Thanks
Sarav

This is not really a RF specific question.

Try the following: Use CSS, h:panelGrid (or something like this) to order rich:panels (or other components you like) in the way you want. All RF components are AJAX-capable so you can submit, update and rerender all your different page areas independently from each other.

Here you can start to learn about RF components:

Please read

and

http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/ajaxAttributes.jsf

to learn more about their AJAX capability.

Perhaps you need more basic info about JSF. That you will find on the pages from Sun.
