Stacking JSF Components

Hi all,

I'm still working in the Helpset for NetBeans 6.5. There's lot of really good stuff there, like the following:

You can visually stack components on top of each other by specifying the same x, y position for multiple components. You can determine the position in the stack of each component. In the following example, the logo graphic is underneath a search field and a button.

f you have multiple layers, bring the bottom component to the front first, then the second component, and so on until you bring the topmost component to the front last.

You can select components in the Visual Designer or the Navigator window.

To determine stacking order, in the Visual Designer or Navigator window, right-click the component and choose Bring to Front or Send to Back.

That's it for this hot August afternoon.

Cheers!

--James
