Iframes and Grids
This is just an initial peek at experiments I'm doing with ExtJS Grids in Apex. The following tabs are iframed, which is done by modifying the page tab template to produce javascript including an iframe reference. See the source code for details.

Hallo Mark!

I just started to learn APEX and this site and your blog was very helpful to me.
I stumbled on this example, if the "tabbed regions", all more or less clear, there is a complete stupor. Could you elaborate it more?
Another question, is it some bug on this page?
I'm open the 1st tabs page, open coments, open the "2nd page" of comment. All working well. Then i am open the 3d tabs, open a coments, there already opened the "2nd" page of coments, and pagination navigation is not working.
Is it side effect of using iframes?
ps

English is not my native language, I hope that my questions for you to understand
Thank you

Interessante...

Hi Mark,

I don't know if you're still monitoring these comments... but I'll try my luck!

I really like the idea of having "light pages" in I frames like this whils keeping the navigation context. I can reproduce the example (kind of) but all my iframes load with the main page (which makes it unacceptably slow when there are many tabs). How do you delay the load only until the tab is clicked??

Many thanks.

To answer Stew's question:

This is a change to the tab page template, but rather than generating html, I generate javascript for the tab template.

Where this gets interesting is the option of using iframes.

I'm working on something at the moment, so when you click on tab 2, it brings up that page as an iframe within the center panel.

This means that the iframed pages can have a lighter footprint as far as javascript and stylesheets go, and still be surrounded with the navigation component, tabs etc to retain the ExtJS look and feel.

So, is this just a change to one of the Apex themes? Or are you actually creating multiple regions on the page and using Tabs to access them?
