Configuring Frames

You can configure how powerKNOW uses the browser window and how it uses frames to enhance the user interface.

There are three variants of frame usage powerKNOW can use:

Method Description
No frame usage In this case powerKNOW will use no frames. It will never address any frame. This mode can be used to run powerKNOW in a browser window on it's own or in a top frame (which must be started from another application).

To configure this mode switch config key 'useFrames' to 'false'. Config keys 'topFrame' and 'frameInfo' will be ignored.
Using frames
/ own browser window In this mode powerKNOW will use frames to enhance the user interface. powerKNOW must run in a browser window on it's own.

To configure this mode switch config key 'useFrames' to 'true'. Config key 'topFrame' must be set to the default ('_top'). Config key 'frameInfo' can be used to configure size and attributes of the frames.
Using frames
/ running in a top frame In this mode powerKNOW will use frames to enhance the user interface. powerKNOW expects to run in a top frame startet by another application / html page.

To configure this mode switch config key 'useFrames' to 'true'. Config key 'topFrame' must be set to the name of the top frame. Config key 'frameInfo' can be used to configure size and attributes of the frames.
