Custom Layout in Portal server 6

Hi,

I'm trying to create the following layout in my Portal

server:

__

| Hello, John ...............|

|.................................|............................................ ...|.....|

| Menu......................|..CONTENT APPEARS.......|.....|

| Item 1.....................|..........HERE..........................|.....|

| Item 2.....................|..WHEN USER CLICKS.....|.....|

|.................................|...ON ITEM FROM MENU...|.....|

| Item X.....................|__|.....|

|__|

When the user logs in, it gets the above page, giving him a Hello, showing a personalized menu that contains links to other web applications and Portal channels available for him and that should be showed in a "frame"-like space in the right part of the page.

How can I do that ? I tried different containers, but

I can't have one link to open a page in that space

rather than opening a new window, or occupying

the whole page, instead of just that part of the page (the menu and the userinfo should always be

visible to the user).

Any help ?

Thanks

Alex.

You can use iframe (inline frame) channel to do what you wish. Since iFrame is just a HTML tag which gets inserted on desktop page, you can insert the IFRAME tag into your html page when your customized desktop is created.

See http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/portalserver/reference/techart/inlineframe.h tml for more detail. HTH, Jerry

.. or use the FrameTabContainer, which exactly allows this behaviour/u
