How to specifiy a background image in a tile?

[measwel <ma...@yahoo.com.au>]

LS,

How can I specify a background image inside a tile element? For instance, I
have a template like this:

    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" border="1">
      <tr>
        <td align="right" colspan="2"><tiles:insertAttribute
name="header"/></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td width="200px"><tiles:insertAttribute name='sidebar'/></td>
        <td>
          <table>
            <tr><td><tiles:insertAttribute name='body'/></td></tr>
            <tr><td><tiles:insertAttribute name='footer'/></td></tr>
          </table>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>

Now I would like the sidebar tile to have a specific background image. How
can I accomplish this?

Thank you,
MPK

You could also specify the background image using the style attribute  
in the table tag:

<table style="background-image: url(img.jpg)" >

This would let you specify it by page, where as just using an external  
style sheet would not.

<table style="background-image: url(<tiles:insertAttribute  
name='backgroundimg'/>)" >

Of course, if you are only specifying single image (or even a few, use  
different styles), it would  be better to do it as a style sheet.  If  
it does change that much, it would seem more appropriate to use it as  
a JSP/JSTL tag.

Not sure if this is poor form in terms of coding standards, but it  
should work.

Create a style in your CSS that has a background image:

sidebar {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	background-image: url(../images/background.png);
}

then assign the css style to the div using the class attribute:

<div class="sidebar">
	<table...>
</div>

Maybe it would be better to do it with a stylesheet? What would you
choose?
If so, how can it be done ?

Oh right, not simply "image" but "background image". CSS is the best
choice. But in this case Tiles won't help, because it is not needed.
Or am I missing something?

Put a definition as the "sidebar" attribute. The template of this
definition should contain something like this:

<tiles:importAttribute name="sidebarBackground" />
...
<img src="${sidebarBackground}" />
