Rendering a BoxBorder without the black line border
Hello,
would it be possible to do that? I've looked at BoxBorder API but I haven't
found any method that would set the black line as not visible.
I've searched the forum for *BoxBorder* and zero results were returned.
Anyway, I apologize if this question has already been answered.
Even though I'm just starting to build a prototypical UI for a web
application, I'm already enjoying Wicket very much.
Thank you,
Cristina

Hi Eelco,
I realized that I haven't truly understood the Navomatic example... So I got
back to the API JavaDoc. Now I clearly see that the NavomaticBorder in the
example is a concrete subclass of Border composed of 2 instances of
BoxBorder: the 1st holds the navigation menu while the 2nd holds the page
contents itself.
What I need, on the other hand, is just a concrete subclass of Border
without any other instances of a Border subclass inside. I just removed the
"empty" Border subclass I've previously included and the code looks clean
now :-).
Thank you,
Cristina

Maybe looking at this: http://wicketstuff.org/wicket13/template/ helps?

Hi Eelco,
thanks so much for your reply. Let me try to explain myself better... I've
started with a BoxBorder mainly because the Navomatic example uses it around
a navigation menu: actually, what I'm trying to build is something between 5
and 10 reusable navigation menus.
I've already built a test navigation menu following the Navomatic example
and it works just fine... Now, as I'm trying to use CSS-only styling, I
first thought of using a BoxBorder with the black line set to not visible.
Thies pointed out that I should extend Border and provide my own markup to
get this kind of effect. But then, thanks to Igor's remarks, I realized that
I may be using a Border where I should be using another container for the
Links that make up the menu.
Would you please recommend another navigation menu example, or suggest which
container I should use in place of BoxBorder, if this is the case?
Regards,
Cristina

I can't guess for you Christina, but were you maybe just trying out
how borders work so that you can actually do something useful with it
in a later stage? I think Igor is mainly wondering why you want to
have a border that doesn't seem to do anything (yet).

Hi Igor,
that's true, but I believe the CSS definition wouldn't be needed here anyway
because the Border markup is inserted in a page section that already
includes it.
Still, you're right... Maybe I've asked the wrong question. Actually, what I
need is a navigation menu. So I thought I should follow the Navomatic
example, which uses a Border around the Links.
Since I don't really need a Border, maybe I should look for another
container for the Links, like a Panel. Does this seem more reasonable to
you?
Thank you,

Re: Rendering a BoxBorder without the black line border

Hi Igor,
I haven't found out a better solution as I don't need any special rendering
in this case. On one hand, maybe I could have changed the line color to
white, which is the background color right now. Still, since the styling is
defined in a CSS file, I don't need to do that... Would you agree with me?
On the other hand, if I extend Border in PlainBorder.java I need to provide
something in PlainBorder.html... Anyway, if you can figure out a better
solution, please let me know.
Thank you,
Cristina

what exactly is a point of having a border with markup like that if it is

Re: Rendering a BoxBorder without the black line border
Posted by Cristina <cr...@acm.org>.
Hi Thies,
thanks for your prompt reply. I've created a PlainBorder class which extends
Border and provided this "empty" markup as I'm trying to use CSS-only
styling:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<wicket:border>
<wicket:body/>
</wicket:border>
</body>
</html>
It's working as expected.
Regards,
Cristina

If you look at BoxBorder.html you'll see that the black line is
hardcoded. BoxBorder however doesn't contain any functionality, just
create your own class extending Border and provide your own style.
