Creating an iframe in a WebWorks App, will cause the focus to be centered in the iframe causing no other actions within the webworks app to work. So when the user attempts to click on any other part of the app, the app will not respond at all. This is especially prevalent when implementing an advertising service.

This has been tested on WebWorks SDK 2.1.1.38 and the same application allows other buttons and WebWorks APIs to function normally.
Testing the same WebWorks application on WebWorks SDK 2.2+ and no buttons/links or WebWorks APIs will function.
