CSS vs Tree2 Component
We have a project that uses JSF(MyFaces Implementation). Actually, we just
inherited this project from a former programmer that had resigned, so we
don't have anything to do with the JSF framework. After doin some
maintenance work on the project, a new requirement was needed. We need to
display a tree like navigation component. I immediately buckle down to
research and found out that the Tomahawk component tree2 is exactly what we
needed. Unfortunately, my boss is keen in using a css based solution to do
the rendering of the tree. What could be my main points in convincing him
otherwise?Thanks (real newbie in jsf here)

There is no reason to use an IFRAME unless you are showing pages from
outside of the JSF system, and CSS will not stop that need. If you are
doing a windows explorer like page with the tree on the left and the
JSF details page on the right, then you simply can use an a4j:include
or ui:include from A4J or facelets respectively. Then on node
selection, just change which "sub-view" is included.

Its because when I brought the idea of using the tree2 component, I told him
that we need to use iframe in order to emulate the effect of using the tree2
as a navigation pane while the iframe will serve as the pane wherein the
results will be displayed (when the tree2 is clicked). He detests using
iframe because we would encounter browser compatibility problems.

There are no CSS tree solutions that I have ever heard of. You could
make one though, but good luck in making it cross-browser capable.
Why does he want it CSS-based anyways, the way you would have to
create icon DIVs/SPANs would make the HTML really useless for anything
besides a tree?
