Overview

The application is a so called web-application, which consist of a server-part and the web-client, known as a internet browser, in this case the .

Restrictions on frame-based web-applications

A single-window webpage or a webpage without frames allows you to save a reference to this page inside your so called Favorites. The most users use this feature to remember the long url [the web-address, containing server and page].

With frame-based webpages, this works a bit different. The home-page of the web-application can be saved this way also, but not individual pages [here located in the bottom-right frame, like this one, you are reading].

Additionally, web-applications like this, have to store some internal data of your visit, like the browser you use. This is mostly done by visiting the homepage of the application, were, at each start, this data is evaluated. So it is currently not recommended to save pages other than the homepage to your favorites.

There are additional information about how to circumvent some more restrictions, for example for printing etc. in the Tips&Tricks page.
