New Iframes 'tabs' in same page... like Yahoo Mail

[jfaust97]

Hello all...

Not sure where this question goes... so here goes...

I would like to have an unknown number of 'tabs' open in a single page.
Basically the way that Yahoo Mail now opens each new message or sent item in its own tab.
I am looking for something exactly like that.

I think the best way to go about this is to open a new Iframe upon clicking whatever...
But not really sure where to start.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jeremy

Read Jack's blogs at http://www.jackslocum.com/blog/index.php where he develops the idea of tabs, grids and layouts.

Then check the examples in the documentation page http://extjs.com/deploy/ext/docs/index.html

Then read the documentation, and try to develop some prototypes of your own.

Then decide whether you really need iframes. They are not necessary for most purposes.

I guess I should have specified...
I have many pages that are already built... forms that submit to various places...
I want to be able to open 5 or 6 forms... make changes to them all individually and then submit them one at a time without refreshing the 'master' page...

I think that is why I was thinking Iframes...

Thanks
Jeremy

OK, no problem putting an iframe in a ContentPanel. Go for it.
