If you simply want to use our courses, see the instructions in plugins/multiuser.htm about how to set up user profiles and mailing lists, then use the file plugins/loginupdt.htm to create the encrypted login.htm file. If you want to develop your own courses, read this file.
Here is how to use our "frames": First, their names:
user - hidden frame for user-ID and group/class/instructor info at the top of the screen,
menu - thin horizontal "menu bar" visible at the top of the screen,
main - the rest of the screen, 96% to 97% of the "real estate" where the frameset appears when invoked by a menu choice in "menu".
The following frame names are used in all our Bibles, modules and courses, so that they will interface with each other correctly:
heading - upper-left small frame,
left - long left frame,
content - large right frame for the main content,
notes - usually open middle-right frame for Bible references, discussion questions, notes, etc.,
xrefs - usually closed lower-right frame for cross-references from Agape-Biblia,
extra - usually hidden completely lower-left frame for various material.
In order to see the HTML code of the following instructions, click the right mouse button in this frame and select "View source" in the "Notepad" editor. Do this now! Or you can open this file with an HTML-editor. One very good and free hypertext editor is "NoteTab Light". You can download it from www.notetab.com/ - try it! It can replace "Notepad," and we have developed several scripts for creating interactive quizzes - see "HTML-e.clb" in the folder C:\Agape-Biblia\plugins\development: replace the file "HTML.clb" in C:\Program Files\NoteTab Light\Libraries with this file. Click on "Lesson Template S" to learn more details on how to use these scripts.
Another excellent and free hypertext editor is "AceHTML Freeware." You can download it from - http://www.visicommedia.com - it is very similar to HomeSite, but also has many built-in Javascripts and CGI scripts, as well as a great Help system to teach you how to use all the HTML 4.0 features, and even will insert them into your HTML code for you.
To create a reference to Agape-Biblia, copy a line from the file "Putissyl.htm" in the folder C:\Agape-Biblia\zametki\lichnye and fill in the chapter and verse. To create a reference to World English Bible, copy a line from the file "C:\Agape-Biblia\Biblia02\lichnye\Putissyl.htm" and fill in the chapter and verse.
In order to launch a new HTML file, you must use the instruction (open this file with Notepad or an HTML editor to view the source code): Description of my info in this file. The information in the new HTML file will be displayed in the same window or frame unless you specify otherwise.
In order to send the content of an HTML file to the desired frame, use for example TARGET="notes":
Your choice.
There exist 4 special names of frames for the specification TARGET=
1. _self
2. _parent
3. _top
4. _blank
For example, if you want the output of your instruction to appear in the same frame, you must use TARGET="_self" - Description.
But if you want the output to overwrite the current "frameset", you must use TARGET="_parent" - Description.
In order to launch a new collection of frames (a "frameset"), you must use the instruction:
<A HREF="Cours1Frmset.htm" TARGET="_parent"> Description of frames </A> . See "index.htm" in this folder for an example of a frameset.
And if you want to erase everything in your current browser window, you must use TARGET="_top" - Description.
If you want your output to create a completely new window of your browser, you must use TARGET="_blank" - Description.
But each time that you use TARGET="_blank", you create one more new window, and your computer will fill up with unneccessary windows and hang up! In order to avoid this, you can think up your own window name, let's say TARGET="doremifa" -- then the output of all instructions TARGET="doremifa" - Description will appear only in one window, "doremefa".
