When the Niagara Web Start application creates a Workbench view, that view is not contained within a web page. The view has no direct relationship to HTML elements in a web page, and the HTML does not know about the view. The view is not displayed as part of the layout of a page. This means that certain things that might have been possible with the applet in a browser will not work in Web Start. An applet contained within an HTML frame, for instance, cannot be supported in Niagara Web Start.

An Hx view containing an instance of the applet may not display in a browser exactly as it did in a previous release(s). The Niagara Web Start application is unable to display the applet in-line with the HTML content. Instead, the application positions the HTML and applet next to each other. The application shows the Hx path bar at the top of the view, with the applet below it. HTML content below the applet is not visible.

Additionally, the AX Web Start application cannot open an applet view from an N4 station, and vice versa. In this situation, you must open the Web Start application from the other station.
