How this Presentation is Laid Out

Here, we explain the visual signposts you'll see at the right hand side of every page in this presentation, plus the visual signposts at the bottom left hand corner of each page. We also explain how to find your way around this collection of materials.

The Right-Side Frame Defines the Tutorial's major sections

This presentation is organized around six sets of pages, as follows:

This Wayfinding page section provides an overview of the entire presentation's layout, and explains how to navigate its sections.
The HTML-Enabled Applications section describes how HTML can be combined with other applications for intranet management
The DynaWeb Web Server section shows how an HTML-enabled application can be used for document delivery.
The HTML Validator section looks at the creation and use of an interactive HTML-enabled application
The Web-Based "Enterprise" Management section focuses on software packages geared toward managing an intranet via the Web
The Resources section provides you with a list of both print and Web resources to help you use our materials and continue learning.

Navigating Between Tutorial Sections

To begin any section of the presentation, you need only select its icon in the right-hand frame on the screen. You can jump around these sections as much as you like, but you'll begin each one with its introductory page.

Navigating With Frames

On a Macintosh: With your cursor arrow over any part of a frame that is not a link or a graphic, click and hold the mouse button down and a small pop-up window will appear with "Back", "Forward", and "New Window With the Frame" options. These commands refer specifically to the pages within the frame your cursor is in rather than the entire framed document.

On a PC: With your cursor arrow over any part of a frame that is not a link or a graphic, right click the mouse button down and a small pop-up window will appear with "Back", "Forward", and "New Window With the Frame" options. These commands refer specifically to the pages within the frame your cursor is in rather than the entire framed document.

Other Navigation Controls

Within the substantive sections of this tutorial (all of them except for this one), you'll also find a set of controls at the bottom left hand side of each HTML document (within the large "slide frame" on the left side of each page). Here's a list of what you may see (not all of these elements will occur on every page):

This Home icon returns you to the master Title page.
This Left arrow takes you to the preceding page in a section's page set (where one exists; if one isn't available, the arrow won't appear). Thus, the first page in a set has no left arrow, and the final page in a set no right arrow. Use this to navigate within a page set, to get to a preceding page.
This Right arrow takes you to the next page in a section's page set (where one exists; if one isn't available, the arrow won't appear). Thus, the first page in a set has no left arrow, and the final page in a set no right arrow. Use this to navigate within a page set to get to a succeeding page.

Note:

  1. Macintosh files are BinHex'ed Self-extracting archives. To access their contents, please convert them back from Hex into Binary. Copy the resulting files into the directory where you wish to place this document collection, then double-click to unpack their constituent files.
  2. PC files are ZIPped. To access their contents, simply place the .ZIP files into your target directory, and then unZIP them.
  3. UNIX Files are gzipped tar archives. To access their contents, first unpack them with a gzip tool, then un-tar with a command like tar -xvf <filename>. Here again, you'll want to copy the .tar file to an appropriate directory before unpacking its contents.
