HOWTO
Embed SwiftView using HTML Frames
 

Some websites use HTML frames to keep a company header and navigation bar viewable at all times.  This behavior "assures" the user that they are still at your website.  Will SwiftView still function within a frame?  Sure it can! 

Click on this frames demo that will take you to the "DOCUMENTS" page of the mockup website, ACME Systems.  You will see an HTML page with a:

  • Company Header frame along the top edge,
  • Navigation Bar frame along the left edge, and
  • Main frame taking up the rest of the page.

Just in case your users do not have SwiftView installed, the "DOCUMENTS" page contains an installation button.

Now, to see how SwiftView looks within a frame, in the Navigation Bar, click on an exhibit to display the associated document. 

Our entry into this demo was through topdocs.htm, the HTML page loaded when you click over the "DOCUMENTS" menu item on the Company Header frame [view source: topdocs.htm].  The typical entry into this mock website would be through index.htm [view source: index.htm].  In either case, we define three frames: header, navbar, and main.

If you've entered the demo through topdocs.htm or by clicking on the "DOCUMENTS" menu item on the Company Header frame, the Navigation Bar frame will be loaded with navdocs.htm [view source: navdocs.htm].  You'll note that we use the image map technique to reference a menu item (e.g., Exhibit A) to an HTML page.  The GIF image was created with Paint Shop Pro from JASC.  We use the same technique [view source: header.htm to reference the menu items in the Company Header frame (e.g., HOME, DOCUMENTS, SUPPORT) to an HTML page.  It's that simple!
