Images as Borders component
Has some one thought to design a component that wraps top, bottom, and side
images around what's inclosed?
Somthing like...
<s:imageBorders topRight="tr.gif" topLeft="tl.gif" top="t.gif" ... >
<h:outputText value="There's going to be images around me!!!"/>
</s:imageBorders>
Seems like it would save alot of messy layout code...

Ok,
Here is a first cut at some specs:
Name: dialogBox
Synopsis: renders a formatted and styled container which can include other
JSF components. The dialogBox can render in open mode which displays the
body area or closed mode which hides the body and only displays the title
area. The dialogBox bottom can have an optional text area. A swappable image
provides a toggle between open and closed modes. The box can be themed by
selecting one of three default themes or by passing the dialogBox the name
of a custom theme. The height and width of the box should be defined by the
size of the content.
Attributes: The box has a border composed of images (top-left, top-right,
top, left, right, bottom, bottom-left, bottom-right) a title area with
foreground, background colors, a body area with forground and background
colors. All pertinent HTML passthrough attributes are supported.

hmmm... Perhaps we can combined our knowledge and work together on creating
such a component?

It'd be worth taking a look at to see how it works, but it still doesn't
provide the desired functionality. If I wanted expanding bananas for the
sides, I wouldn't be able to!

ADF Faces has various nice components in this area. Check
out the panel box, panel border, show detail tags in:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partne
rs/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/tagdoc/core/imageIndex.html
Now that ADF becomes part of Myfaces, it should be worth
trying!

I started on such a component then started to run into compatibility issues
based on the underlying html -- basically, nested divs are lightweight and
easy to style/hide etc. but have compatibility problems with IE. Nested
tables, on the otherhand, always work but present styling issues for users.

Definately thought of it (rounded corner support), just haven't got around
to making one.
