The <rich:layout> component is designed to build layouts basing on Yahoo UI Grids CSS
The <rich:layout> allows to build a grid that can be used to make the layout on a page. The <rich:layout> is used in conjunction with the <rich:layoutPanel> that is used as a child element and carries the main burden of building the grid.
Hence, you need to use the <rich:layout> as a container and <rich:layoutPanel> to create areas inside the container.
This is how you can make a layout with 5 areas:Example:
...
<rich:layout>
<rich:layoutPanel position="top">
<!--top-->
</rich:layoutPanel>
<rich:layoutPanel position="left">
<!--left-->
</rich:layoutPanel>
<rich:layoutPanel position="center">
<!--center-->
</rich:layoutPanel>
<rich:layoutPanel position="right">
<!--right-->
</rich:layoutPanel>
<rich:layoutPanel position="bottom">
<!--bottom-->
</rich:layoutPanel>
</rich:layout>
...
To get more details about <rich:layoutPanel> please read the chapter about layoutPanel in the guide.
