How to Layout Components
Taking Web Pages to a Higher Dimension with Ajax
The content in a static web page is bounded by its page size and its layout; introducing new information to a static web page means redirecting to a new page. With Ajax, new information and presentation could be dynamically loaded onto a page by replacing pieces of the existing DOM elements, making an Ajax enabled web page analogous to having a higher order of dimension then a traditional HTML page. A clear illustration of that is the tabs (Tabbox) widget, which allows document content to be stacked up in an area with fixed size on a single page. In the table below, we summarize the Ajax elements enabling us to this additional degrees of freedom in page layout:
| Ajax Element | Usage | Demo |
|---|---|---|
| Overlay | Stack contents up in a fixed area on the same page | [Tabbox] |
| Folding | Allow "show and hide" for contents dependent on other contents | [Hierarchical Grid], [Master Detail], |
| Pop-up | Allow contents contained in an area to be evoked on top of its parent page with its position adjustable | [Modal Window], [Pop-ups], |
| Collapsible / Closable | Allow contents to be hidden so page space is disclosed | [Portal Layout], [Border Layout] |
| Splittable | Allow the contents area size to be adjustable | [Splitter], [Border Layout] |
ZK offers a variety of layouts that incorporates these elements to bring flexible layout to meet the demands of building diverse web applications.
