Hi,

  Is there a way to generate a prototype without the index page/frame included?  So when i run the prototype, the left index does not show at all, only my pages.

Thanks

Hi,

There isn't a way to prevent the frame from showing up when it is launched after generation, but you can close them using "Close Frames" in the upper left of the prototype. If you are directing others to the prototype and do not want them to see the frames, you can point them directly to one of the html pages generated in the target folder.

I'm new to Axure, so maybe this wasn't true when this was posted, but it works for me in version 5. I create a page in the prototype called [filename]_start. This can either contain links to various parts of the prototype or it can be an empty page that just redirects to the proper starting point.

When Axure generates the prototype, this page replaces the standard [filename]_start.html file that Axure launches when it's done, which means when the browser opens you get the page you want instead of the standard frameset.  

Creating a duplicate of this page called "index" will replace the index.html file as well, which should allow you to share the directory with users without having to worry about specifying "home.html" as the start page.

Because the pages are part of the Axure file, they'll be regenerated each time the prototype is.

Victor,

I'd like to recommend that the sitemap include the "Close Frames" at both its top and bottom. I am prototyping a complex web application that includes more than 100 page versions.

Yours in the increments,
