[Zope] Keeping track of frames

[Paul Zwarts]

Another method is to identify each frame inside the dtml with a REQUEST
variable, form variable or session variable that is sticky to that
frame. Fourther context tracking could be done with jscript. I use
IFRAMEs once in a while and pass differences by a hidden form input. It
has no detriment to the security or anything else other than to identify
what is happening. I also always program session variables for myself to
control the appearance of REQUEST at the bottom for debugging. When I
myself am authhenticated, I get the tracebacks and REQUEST at the top
and bottom so I can see what has transpired.

Frames are a client side feature of which Zope knows nothing.
It is very hard to synchronize multiple frames on the client side (which
is
done with JavaScript) and Zope.

However, there are few reasons to use frames since Zope creates your
pages
on the fly. Use layers (<div></div>) or similar where you would have a
frame
and fill them each from a template. This is far easier and much more
flexible.
