Opening a Customized ProClarity Professional Client in a Browser Part 1

Customers may want to launch ProClarity Professional and customize the experience for the end users. For example, they may want to open Pro in a frame in a portal and open a specific view - hiding the toolbar, Briefing Book pane, or Open Cube options in the process.  

One of the most common ways of launching a customized Professional experience is using the default.htm file located here (C:\Program Files (x86)\ProClarity\SDK\Samples\ProClarity Professional\Web\PProClarityCtrl), when installed with the Microsoft ProClarity Software Developers Kit 6.3. The advantages of this method is that it is simple and easy to understand and implement. The disadvantages is that it opens Pro using very few options and it takes more effort to customize the way Pro is opened.

Here is a simple default.htm that opens a local .BBK Briefing Book file. C:\Users\joprue\Documents\temp.bbk. Soon, I'll be posting a sample file that opens a view from PAS and hopefully automatically closes the Briefing Book pane after opening.
