frames available?

I am not a guru in the Portal template capabilities, which I know are

very flexible, but I have played with frames - maybe too much. It really

comes down to what you are trying to do with frames.

No 1 consideration is your end user environment. If you support IE 4 and

above and NS 6 (or Mozilla), then they have an <IFRAME> tag. This

is pretty flexible and you can embed it pretty well anywhere. Technically

it is not W3C HTML compliant ;-)

If you need to support other browsers, eg ns 4.x, then that's a bit

trickier.

You would need to set the frameset as the first thing that the page loads.

In that situation, the best approach would probably be to refer to a static

page on a webserver that calls the portal desktop itself. Eg, I could

envision where you modify the frame which calls tab provider to

include the channels/content on the left hand side which is locked

and cannot be changed, and another frame which evaluates to a tab

on the right hand side which the user may customize.
