Close Strict Mode Option

The "'close' strict mode" option in KSW Options > Project Options > Web Config performs as follows:
• When strict mode is off (default), the 'close' button in the HI frame is active/enabled for any topic displayed in the main frame.

Note. If a non-topic page (from a different domain) is displayed in the main frame, 'close' is disabled by default, due to cross-site scripting browser security. A user may, however, shrink the HI frame for a quasi-full browser view of the external page.

• Otherwise (strict mode is on), the 'close' link is disabled when the current topic has no return link. Thus switching between the KB and single page mode is strictly controlled.

Note. A return link is a link/span on a topic page (usually part of the header) that returns a page to the KB. Thus, if the page is displayed at top level, taking the entire browser window, clicking a return link calls the KB frameset, with the current topic in the main frame. See Return Links.

Note. If your KB does not implement return links, you may safely ignore the "'close' strict mode" option.
