RequiresIsolation Property
This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.
The RequiresIsolation property places the Web Part in an IFrame, which isolates the Web Part from the rest of the Web Parts on the dashboard. To isolate a Web Part, set this property to TRUE. Isolation provides the following benefits:
- Script functions and event sinks run as though they are the only scripts on the page. Function names and event sinks do not conflict with those of other Web Parts on the dashboard.
- HTML IDs do not conflict with those of other Web Parts. Any ID referenced in the script of an isolated Web Part uniquely identifies an element in the content of that Web Part.
IFrames provide a few additional characteristics you might find useful:
Requests for content originate from the client computer, so you can use cookies and basic authentication prompting.
The request for content occurs asynchronously from the rest of the page. This can be useful for Web Parts with content links that return slowly.
**Note **Netscape Navigator does not support Iframes, nor any other suitable mechanism for isolation. Therefore, isolated parts will not render in Netscape Navigator.
