Frame Tag

The frame tag identifies the beginning and end of the contents that SWE places in a frame. SWE displays this tag as an HTML frame tag, with the src attribute of this tag set to a SWE URL that gets the contents of the frame.

The frame tag uses the following format:

<swe:frame type="frame_type" name="frame_name"> .... </swe:frame>

where:

• type. Identifies the frame type. SWE uses this information to determine when to refresh this frame. You can use one of the values that the following table describes.

  Value	Description
  Screenbar	In a container page template, specifies that the frame contains the primary tab bar.
  Viewbar	In a container page template, specifies that the frame contains Siebel CRM menus, a visibility drop-down list, and a search drop-down list.
  View	In a container page template, specifies that the frame contains the current view that includes the content area.
  Page	In a container page template, specifies that the frame contains a Web page. SWE does not refresh these frames after initial loading.
  Applet	In a View template, specifies that the frame contains an applet.
  Content	Creates a frameset that includes view frames. It supports how Siebel CRM displays multiple views in some features, such as Search Center. The Content frame typically includes a frameset that contains only the View frame. Other content frames can include framesets that include two or more frames, the View frame, and frames that display other views, such as the Search View.
  AltView	Configures subframes to display one or more alternate views in the content frame, such as Search Center, in addition to the view in the View frame.

• name. Optional. Specifies a name for the frame. You can use this attribute only if the type of the frame is Page. SWE creates a typical name for other frame types.

You must place the frame tag in the body of the frameset tag.

SWE can support a nested frameset where:

• The frame tag contains a frameset tag.
• the Type attribute of the outer frame tag is Page.
