OT: Web design software
LHP (little help please) I have a book coming out in the not too distant future, and would like to put some interactive RunRev applications (physics simulations) for download on a web site. (I may put them up on my FTP site soon.) I've done some HTML web pages in the past using Adobe Page Mill 1.0. It was all right for the very simple stuff. I know many of you have sites that allow the user to download stacks and applications by clicking buttons. Is there a relatively simple Web design application which allows this facility? I'm looking for something relatively basic; the last thing I want to do is master another state of the art application. JIm P.S. One more constraint. I am an old Mac OS 9 die hard--more evidence of my backward ways. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Jim, You might think about Contribute ($99) from macromedia. It works well with it's big brother Dreamweaver. THe thing about contribute is that if you already have a web page you just browse to it in contribute and create a connection and then hit EDIT. There are templates galore and you change and highlight some text hit the Link as then Files from my computer (browse to the upload) and then when done editing (WYSIWYG) you just hit Publish. DONE Contribute can handle a lot of things in an easier way. It is meant for Web developers to give editable access to non web-savy types but maintain styles and code etc. It also has pay Pal support which I have not yet played with. I use Dreamweaver a lot but now I am starting to use Contribute about 75% of the time for simple to hard changes. If you are on .mac you can even get a discount ($79 I think) and get a bunch of extra templates for free.

Since you'll have to deliver a player app for users to run them, why not save them the extra step of using a Web browser and build a directory right into your app which can download and run your stack files? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I have no feel at all for delivering this package via the web. There will be about five or six separate themes. I have developed each on one or two cards (maybe a substack) all as part of one stack. There will be a front piece (card one) with an index and buttons to take the user to the specific theme. My thought was to simply create a standalone consisting of the entire stack (it won't be large) and store that on a web site with the url to be cited in the book. Pretty basic. Is there a better way?

I'm just doing real simple stuff myself, so on my Mac I just use Netscape's Compose (part of Navigator) and Transmit (dirt cheap shareware, ultra fast and simple). Example my site I just stuck together. I figure I'll just build as I go: http://www.interisland.net/pixelbird/ Ken N. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Jim Hurley replied: My thought was to simply create a standalone consisting of the entire stack (it won't be large) and store that on a web site with the url to be cited in the book. From my own experience, I recommend Richard's approach - something similar to his RevNet. This will give you a way to get corrected or revised stacks to users easily, as well as new stacks you think up later. A user can download your existing standalone set of stacks in a single archive file. Then, when a web connection is available, the standalone can check for updates.
