Topic: Web Sites On DVD

Hello All,

I've been helping a friend with a web site for a Florists.  I would like to transfer some of the site onto CD or DVD so she could give it away as a gift at fayres etc. or if someone pops into her shop for information.  I have noticed some hotels do this now.

How can I do this so it would also autorun?  Also what would be the best format to do it in or is it the same as the web page?

Thank you,

Best wishes
Graeme

Re: Web Sites On DVD

For Windows, you'll need to add a file to the CD that specified which file you want to automatically run when opening the CD. There are a lot of examples online; here is one: http://www.burzurq.com/forum/autorun_html.html

For Mac, I'm getting confusing information, so you might have to do some research. This page (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/133/tn_13374.html) indicates that there is currently not an "autorun" feature on the Mac, and your best bet is to add a readme file to the user can open up if they are confused.

You should be able to use standard HTML files on the CD -- you shouldn't need to change the format.
