panelBorderLayout problem: start/end cannot have 100% height
I used a panelBorderLayout to layout my page.
The left facet contains a panelBox for navigation.
Unfortunately the rendering of panelBorderLayout makes it very hard
to have my navigation panelBox 100% height (which is a client requirement).
panelBorderLayout puts the "left" facet in a <td>, but that cell does
not have 100% set.
Therefore setting the cell's content (my panelBox) to height:100%
has no effect at all.
Heavy usage of firebug resulted in a solution, but that is hacky and only
works in firefox:
Set a style class: <tr:panelBorderLayout styleClass="myPanelBorder">
Use child selectors to modify the td height:
.myPanelBorder > tbody > tr > td {
height: 100%;
}
Isn't that ugly.
Two possible soltuions:
- Change the panelBorderLayout render, so that it always gives the td's
height:100%. I don't see any disadvantages in that. The child (facet)
is then free to use that height or not.
- Make the panelBorderLayout skinnable.
What do you think?

frames? That's a little too 90s isn't it (and is rightfully forbidden
in my client's style guidelines)?
But right it shouldn't be too difficult to create a facelets component.
Up to now I have only advaned to the templating section in my copy of
O'Reilly's Facelets Short Cuts.
I'll read the next chapters...

Hi,
perhaps frameBorderLayout is the component you are searching for:

Hi,
i have the same requirements, too. Making the panelBorderLayout skinnible,
ist perhaps the best solution. In Orcale adffaces 11 is another component,
it's callend panelStretchLayout.
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/multiproject/adf-richclient-api/enhanced-tagdoc.html)
Because this is not available, i decided to make my own panelStretchLayout
(facelets) component.
Greetings
Daniel

Yup, I already tried that - no luck.
As long as the td's themselves don't have height:100% their contents
will not be able to have 100% height either.
(Besides I don't want the outer table to have 100% of _its_ parent height.
That table should simply be as high as the largest contained facet.)
I really think it would hurt nobody if the cell tags would have 100% by default.
But I would be happy with the selectors, also.
Maybe that could be useful for other use cases, also.

I thought a bit more about this and I think you can already achieve it
without that big selector of yours. Have you tried the following?
af|panelBorderLayout
{
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
This should make the outer table big enough ans the cells inside should
stretch accordingly, note that I did not test it though.

Nvm that, I misunderstood your requirement...
Maybe we should add selectors like af|panelBorderLayout::start-block,
af|panelBorderLayout::inner-start-block, etc.

Hello Stephen,
Have you tried innerStart facet as well by any chance?
