onlineHelpGenerator
This is a searchable Table of Contents
JavaTM
applet. Multi-level folders,
and frames-based navigation with the option to specify the
target-frame for each content line are supported. The applet does not need
images and is based on JDK 1.0.2. A demo of this applet to navigate this site
is at the left frame of this page. The
applet generates the TOC based on the data provided in a text file.
Please refer to searchableTOCGenerator3 for a revised version of
this applet.
Usage
- Single-click
on the folder to open/close.
- Click on the "Reset" button to close all
folders.
- Click on the 'O' button to open all folders.
- Single-click on
any folder item to load the page in the specified frame. The specification of
which frame to load the page for a given content line is defined in
stocgen.txt.
- The search is restricted only to the content line strings
and is case insensitive. Example: "applet" (without the
double-quotes).
- Colors for the background, font etc. can be modified
through the applet parametes in stocgen.html.
TestDrive
If you are
interested in testing
searchableTOC at your site, here are the various files:
stocgen.txt, stocgen_try.class, stocgen_tryLine.class, stocgeninfo.html, stocgenhome.html and stocgen.html.
You'll be able to test upto 100 content lines with these files. The file stocgen.txt contains three kinds of lines:
- Lines that start with ids like n1a1, n2a1 etc are the content lines. The
first field of this line is the id, second field is the content string and
the third string is the name of the target-frame to load the page.
- Lines that start with "url". This line specifies the url of the page for
the content line that precedes this line. Specify a zero-length string for
the folder lines with one or more tails.
- Lines that start with "L". These lines specify the layout lines with the
second field denoting the head and the rest of the fields refer to the tails.
The order in which the content lines appear in stocgen.txt corresponds to the applet
with all the folders in open mode.
