Question:

Does the HTML-Dialog Extender Support Frames?

The reason for this question is simple. I have a page that consists of three frames (one top, two bottom) In the top frame I intend to place a text-type form (to enter an URL) which in turn activates the URL in the right bottom frame. To test this I used the example from the help file, but about 1 second after opening the main page (which only has two Frameset-Tags) the window immediatly closes down, and the message box says "user typed" (empty).

Answer:

Yes, you can use frames, but be aware that control will return to Winbatch for each frame, so you will need to do a lot of hBrowser(1,"",... to get the whole thing loaded. It's like WinBatch muct confirm the load of each part.

Note: In HTML Extender version 30001 we added an option (hBrowse, third (flag) parameter, bit value 8) that controls whether or not the extender would automatically load all the pages in a frame in a single hBrowse statement or not.
