frameset/windows

david1 Jan 10, 2006 10:10 AM

Hi;

At times in my portlet I need to have two frames (a list of files on the left, the file selected displayed on the right). Do I ask the portal for a layout like this or do I create framesets in the html I return to the portal?

If I ask the portal, how do I do that?

If I do it myself, anything special I need to do when I create the frames?

Thanks - dave

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure of the specifics behind what you're looking to accomplish, but if you're just looking to display frames via a portlet, than creating the framesets in the html that gets injected into the portlet sounds like the way to go. Note that you will need to structure your frames/html to account for any width constrictions that take place in the portlet container/region (e.g. use of overflow to scroll horizontally, etc.). If the default layout in the portal is not sufficient, you can always tweak the theme css to adjust region width and position. Otherwise, you might run into a situation where the html fragment in the portlet will cause the layout on the page to look off.

Hope this helps.
