Hi,
I am working on some ideas for a web site, and I am hoping some - one
could explain how to do it:
1. If I set up a template page, how do I automatically insert
boilerplate text in place of variable markers in the template?
2. How could I cause a frame to appear at the bottom of the page,
once the reader selects a hypertext jump? It would act like a popup
in normal WinHelp, and I would provide a button to close the frame
once the reader has found the information they want. It could contain
definitions, or a map to the web site.
Regards,
Mike Little
