You need the browser to support only the features you are using in the HTML pages you generate from Workshop:
- If your application needs FRAMES, the browsers must
support it.
- If you use JavaScript, the browser must have Javascript.
- If you are using Java, or ActiveXs, you need a browser that
supports Java or ActiveX.
There are two scenarios where you must require a browser that supports cookies:
- If you use cookies in your application.
- If you use the WebSpeed State-Persistent model (for example,
LOCKED agents).
The reason that Workshop needs HTML with frames, Java, and cookies, etc. is that Workshop itself is a WebSpeed application that needs these features.
If you build your HTML Web objects from the wizards and templates provided with WebSpeed Version 2.0 or higher, by implication you are using Javascript and frames. This is true for the wizards and the report template. The files that are built do have Javascript (but only a little) and the wizards for report/detail both are aware of Frames as the targets for links.
The FRAMESET template also can only be used where frames are supported.
