I Need Brief Assistance - Putting Web Site To Cd

[brahmburgers]

I've had some experience with html - though am 'old school'.

I'm putting together a simple promo CD, that's essentially a small web site for particular publications.

I don't know the method for directing/naming links within a CD format.

I suspect it's simple, but would appreciate someone showing the method. thanks in advance.

I did this once myself years ago.  Made the site in frontpage but had problems getting it on to the cd and keep the href working.  I finally had the edit the ref's and page marks each then just copied the whole thing to the cd and the navigation between pages and to images etc was ok.  As long as all the links are relitive to each other it should work fine when the folders are moved onto cd.  And any content needs to be included on the cd.  Thats what worked for me.

Correct, very easy to do as long as you keep the links relative ....

thanks. I'll give it a try.

Some of the links might be to .doc or .pdf pages. will that work as well?

As mentioned above, relative links will access any item including images and docs.

Should be no problem .... as long as you include readers ..... or already available on the user's computer. Easier is to convert those files to .html first ....

If you add an autorun.inf file pointing at your introductory page you can make your CD automatically open up the website when inserted.

I don't know how big is the website but rewriting all the href......

Try HTTrack should be much easier

[brahmburgers]

the web site is small.

thanks for the helpful info!

You can test it first by putting it on a USB Flash drive before burning the CD.

Nothing special to do for a CD, just works the same as if on a hard/flash drive.

One easy option is to create an Ebook from the website. This will "package" the site into a single executable file, which can then be copied onto a CD along with the autorun file so that it opens when you play the CD.

One advantage to using this system is that it protects the source files.

I use EBookMaker.
