Frontpage Equivelent

A

Allistair

Yesterday I received a CD and when I put it in the CD drive it opened a page
that looked sort of similar to IE. the programme was all about the
organisation and technical help pages etc. It looked like and operates
similar to the Web sites I have created using FrontPage.
As I would like to do something similar for my company, my question is can
FrontPage build a CD type programme or is there another recommended method
of building a CD with something very similar to FrontPage?

Thanks

Allistair

Create your web, publish it to a folder, burn the folder to a CD.
You will then need an autorun.inf file to launch the web site, or a
shellexecute file. I'm not at the machine that has a link I can give you for
one.

Keep in mind, however, that you can't use any elements that require a web
server or FP server extensions.

an autorun.inf in the root (in other words outside your web folder but on
the disk).

it's just a plain text file with the following lines:

[autorun]
shellexecute=index.htm

I like to put everything inside a folder called assets in FrontPage so that
there is just the autorun.inf and the index page in the root of the web.
that way you can burn the "contents" of the web to the disk and it'll all
work.
