Working on the frame embedding idea: 1) Objective is to make any window embeddable, exactly like the applet. 2) This could take several forms. 3) Key is that all behavior would be the same.
Please discuss: Framing: a) Just like a frame, with frame closure buttons b) Just like a frame, with title bar, but no closure buttons c) Could be "undecorated" -- no title or closure buttons Q: How to specify/decide? Embedding: a) Frame-specific embedding, using the frame's setName() [as opposed to setTitle()] property. b) Could be class-specific, using a class name instead of a frame name. c) Could be (must be?) indicated on the page with a standing div of a syntactically specified id. d) Could morph to the size indicated by div CSS or could override the size indicated by div CSS e) Directives could use the class attributes of the div f) Directives could be automatically transmitted to the frame's clientProperties for discoverability in Java. g) Some pages might be designed to take URI query information to load this into the Info block, but that's not a Java issue, I think. Menubar, PopupMenu, general "reduced" feature set: My thinking here is that this is fully controllable by Java. Java just needs to have access to embedding information in the frame constructor in order to tune itself to its environment. Thoughts? Bob -- Robert M.
