Hi Guys,
I have one problem. I have a header, footer, content page and navigation page. All the pages are combined into one page using

<body>
<table border="1" width="750" cellspacing="1">
<tbody>
<tr><td colspan="2"><tiles:insert attribute="header" /></td></tr>
<tr>
<td width="125"><tiles:insert attribute="navigation" /></td>
<td width="400"><tiles:insert attribute="body" /></td>
</tr>
<tr><td colspan="2"><tiles:insert attribute="footer" /></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>

But using this link when i click one link, that page is displayed in body. but all the pages reloaded. my expectation is header and footer SHOULD NOT BE loaded. Only content page should be load.

So what is the problem of this? Can I over come this??? I think it's like HTML Frames.....

Thanks

Thank You<br />Edward

That is the problem: you are expecting this to work like HTML frames.
Tiles and frames are different.
In fact, the tiles you specify indicate how ONE HTML file should be built, piece by piece. When it boils down to the final rendering, you will see one giant FLAT (non-framed) HTML file which is a conglomerate of all the Jsps you have specified in your Tiles definition.
Loading or reloading a page causes new HTML to be rendered for the entire page. It is useful to have HTML comments in your JSPs so you know where each one starts and stops, as these are visible when you view source.

Hope this helps.

If you mean a way that does not reload each frame each time, then I don't have an answer. Is it that important not to reload?
There is a element, but none for frameset that I know of.
