General Interface Builder Launch Modes

You can start General Interface Builder in different modes.

Launch Mode	Description
HTML mode	Opens General Interface Builder in the selected web browser. File name: `GI_HOME/GI_Builder.html`
XHTML mode	Opens General Interface Builder in XHTML mode. This can be useful for developing and testing applications that run in XHTML pages, such as portlet applications. File name: `GI_HOME/GI_Builder.xhtml` Note: XHTML mode is not supported by Internet Explorer 7.
Console mode (Internet Explorer only)	Opens General Interface Builder as an HTML application (HTA). HTAs are not subject to the same security constraints as web pages, and when run locally are given privileges to read and write to the local file system. General Interface Builder occupies the entire screen of your monitor. Note: Console mode runs only in HTML mode, not in XHTML mode. File name: `GI_HOME/GI_Builder.hta`
launch_in_ide.html	Launches a project in General Interface Builder in HTML mode. This file is created automatically in your project directory when you create a project. Note: Use this file to launch General Interface only during development, not at runtime. File name: `workspace/JSXAPPS/project_dir/_launch_in_ide.html`

You can create a shortcut of a launch page and add it to your browser's favorites.

For more information about files in the General Interface installation directory, see the General Interface Developer Guide.
