Added by Ingo Renner over 16 years ago.

Description
To move UI elements around in the BE UI it is necessary to first change the frames to iframes.
This is a preliminary step to achieve a more user friendly BE UI.

Hi,
I didn't know that you can drag elements between iframes. I guess that's the thing you try to achieve, isn't it?
II can be wrong but I can't see the advantage of using iframes instead of frames. Maybe div-container could help here!?

see the screens Jens made, these overlappings aren't possible with frames...
and yes I heard DnD works also then ... thinking of dragging records from the list view on a different page in the tree =)
... need to test that
I just found something, but in general it is NOT possible because dragging between window objects are prevented by the browser to avoid XSS.
I read some lines about a solution where the parent window is used as intermediate data storage to simulate a seamless drag and drop but in the end, it's just a bad hack where nobody can guaranty that it works everywhere in every browser.
I would suggest to use div-container for this. That should work everywhere and you can simply drag everything everywhere on the screen. Indeed this is much more work to realize I guess.
Greets,

that's the problem, but in all we can get rid of the logo, menu and topframe
leaving only the content and page tree frames as iframes
