Oracle Web Forms trying to imitate FRAMES in HTML - opinions needed 1

[MrPhreaker]

Morning all.

I am attempting to create a form in which I have 3 canvasses laid out.

The first canvass is the head which contains the corporate image.

The left side canvass contains a stacked menu consisting of buttons.

The remainder of the window is the main screen containing the application.


Since I am newish developer, I am unsure what is the best way to do the following:

The menu on the left canvass will CHANGE depending on what form is displayed. The menu buttons also will be triggered to open diffent forms on the right part of the screen.

To 'illustrate' what this means, it's kinda like TEK-TIPS layout but the bar on the left changes depending on what is being done in this main section on the right.

Is the best way to call a form that will reside on top of the main part of the canvass ? If so, how do I ensure that when the user clicks on the buttons on the form beneath that they will be active ?


I hope I've explained it well enough. Does anyone know of an example that already does this ? Thanks a million for any responses.

Hi there,

Try to have one main content canvas with left hand side of the canvas containg buttons and in the top the corporate image. Have stacked canvases that can be show or hidden when the buttons are hit. Hope it helps.
