Frame Tags

This topic describes tags that you can use to configure how SWE uses frames. It includes the following topics:

• Frame Tag
• Frameset Tag

The frame tags allow SWE to control how it refreshes URLs. You can use them in the following situations:

• Container page template. Creates the frame definition document for SWE. Note the following:
  • It is recommended that you define the contents of the frame that uses the include tag, but it is not required. You can place these contents in the body of the frame tag. For more information, see Include Tag.
  • The contents of the frame tag must include the entire HTML document. It must include the HTML document structure tags, such as the html, head, and body tags, and so on. This content must include the view templates.
  • If the type is View, then the contents of the frame tag must contain only the current-view tag. For more information, see Current View Tag.
• View template. Used in a View template to create a frame definition document that displays the applets that the view contains. SWE refreshes these frames only if one or more of these applets contains new data. Note the following:
  • SWE can use a frame in a View template only if it also uses this frame in the container page, and only if a separate frame exists in the container page for the View.
  • If you place an applet in a frame, then you must make sure that Siebel CRM maps at least one applet tag in this frame to an applet. If you do not do this, then an empty frame might occur. For more information, see Applet Tag.
  • If a frame tag contains an applet tag, then you must set the type attribute of this tag to Applet.
