What are Multi Frame Pages?

Multi frame pages are a special set of pages. Normal pages represent a generated HTML page - a multi frame page represents a generated HTML frameset page.

A multi frame page does not contain controls but frames in which other pages are positioned. Each frame is associated with an ID (called "target" in this section). A frame may be:

  • a normal HTML page

  • an intelligent Application Designer page

  • a frameset itself containing frames

Multi frame pages are the preferred way of arranging Application Designer pages in a frameset. Besides enhanced possibilities of communication between frames, multi frame pages automatically take care of keeping all Application Designer frames inside the same session. See section Session Management for more details.
