HTML Frames in View Templates

---

HTML frames can be used in View templates to create a frame definition document to show the Applets in the View. SWE will refresh these frames only when one or more of the Applets contained in a frame has new data.

NOTE:  You can use frames in a View template only if frames are also used in the container page and there is a separate frame in the container page for the View.

In a View template, applets can be grouped into separate frames, although this is considered a non-standard practice except in cases where independent refresh or independent scrolling is a significant requirement. One situation where frames are required in the content area is when displaying an explorer View, in which a tree applet occupies a frame on the left and the corresponding list applet occupies the frame on the right. Another situation requiring frames is when the user activates a search, at which time a Search frame, and subsequently a Results frame, are activated in the right portion of the content area.

The following shows the implementation details of frameset definitions in View templates:

When placing Applets into frames you need to make sure that at least one <swe:applet> tag within a frame gets mapped to an Applet in the repository. Otherwise empty frames will occur.
When a <swe:frame> block contains a <swe:applet> tag, its type attribute should be set to Applet.

Given below is an example of a view template that uses frames:

<!-- CCView_33_66_Frame.swt start -->

<swe:frameset htmlAttr="cols='33%,66%'' border='1' frameborder='Yes'">

<!-- Column 1 Applets -->

<swe:frame type="Applet" htmlAttr="marginheight='0' margin width='0' scrolling='Auto'">

<swe:for-each count=10 iteratorName="currentId" startValue="101">

<swe:applet id="swe:currentId" hintText="Applet" var="Parent">

<!--start applet-->

<swe:this property="FormattedHtml"/>

<!--end applet-->

</swe:applet>

</swe:for-each>

</swe:frame>

<!-- Column 2 Applets -->

<swe:frame type="Applet" htmlAttr="marginheight='0' marginwidth='0' scrolling='Auto'">

<swe:for-each count=10 iteratorName="currentId" startValue="201">

<swe:applet id="swe:currentId" hintText="Applet" var="Parent">

<!--start applet-->

<swe:this property="FormattedHtml"/>

<!--end applet-->

</swe:applet>

</swe:for-each>

</swe:frame>

</swe:frameset>

<!-- CCView_33_66_Frame.swt end --> </HTML>
