Setting Visual Web JSF Page Layout
See Also
If you drag a component from the Palette to the Visual Designer, where the component appears depends on the type of layout you have set for the page. You can set the following kinds of layouts:
- Grid Layout. Grid layout is the default layout. Grid layout positions components at the location where you drop them on the page. This positioning is often called absolute positioning. If you are using snap to grid, each component is positioned relative to the nearest grid corner when it is created. Even if you specify grid layout, some compound components use flow layout. Group panels, for example, align their children components using flow layout.
- Flow Layout. Flow layout positions components from left to right on the first line. When no more components fit, the components are positioned left to right on the next line, proceeding down the page. Some components, such as buttons and output text, are added to a line until no more components fit. Other components, such as tables, create their own paragraphs, that is, they appear on a new line by themselves.
To change a page's layout:
- In the Visual Designer, click the page.
- In the page's Properties window, select the value for Page Layout.
