Modifying Headers and Footers

After you have modified the container page so that it runs without frames, you must modify the view containers so that they work in the new page container. By default, view containers contain <head> and <body> tags because they are designed to run in frames. However, when running without frames these view containers are inserted inline into the HTML page. To operate correctly this requires that the view container not insert these extraneous <head> and <body> tags.

Most views include standard header and footer Web template files which are responsible for adding the <head> and <body> tags. By modifying these files, you can enable most views to operate correctly in frameless mode.

To update all customer-facing views for running without frames, replace the contents of the header and footer Web templates with a single placeholder <span/> tag. Note that while these modified Web templates are in use, the views that use them will no longer operate correctly when used with frames.

Partner-facing applications (PRM) use a number of employee-facing views. Therefore you must also update employee-facing headers and footers. When the modified Web template files are applied, any employee-facing applications using them will not operate correctly. It is recommended that frameless PRM and employee-facing applications use distinct Web-template directories.
