Structure of Hantsmap Web-pages | |
structure |
The overall structure of the HANTSMAP html pages is
complicated. There is nothing in the structure that
is particularly complex, all parts are fairly simple, but
there is a lot of it! Most of the structure follows a strong pattern which was developed to provide access to the map of a single maker. This unit structure is described here and can be seen diagramatically as a hypermap. |
common links |
Nearly every page has:-
|
back |
The hypermap does not indicate backward routes. These mostly run back up the route you followed to a page. |
frames |
HantsMap uses framesets, which all have the same shape.
The screen is divided into a narrow left column, which
has a small top frame and a longer menu frame,
and a larger right frame. These are referred to
[fairly] consistently by frame names:- tfr,
mfr, and rfr. |
no frames |
HantsMap uses frames as an essential navigation tool. There is an unforgiving no frames comment:- <no frames><body bgcolor="#FFFFDD"> <h2 align="center"> Warning </h2> <p align="center"> This program requires a browser which can deal with FRAMESETS; you should upgrade your browser </p> </body></noframes> |
abbrev |
In the notes the following abbreviations are used to stand
for various elements of filenames, etc:-[MAKER] = maker identifier, eg:- SAXTON1 |
html |
Simplified examples of the html tagging are given with each
page description. Note that:-
