cd website

[boyfromoz]

I have a client who wants to burn 100 copeis fo their website and post it off to various people, with the webiste set to open when the cd is put in the slot.

How?

How to burn the CDs or how to have it run automatically?

To have it run automatically on Windows PCs just create a text file named "autorun.inf" and put the following in it:

[AutoRun]
shellexecute=Open_Me.htm

Where it says "Open_Me.htm" put the name of your main page.

When I've done it I put the whole site inside a folder and then created a new page called "Open_Me.htm" that's a splash page, one that links to the main page of the site (like "index.htm&quot inside the folder. That way if the user doesn't have Autorun turned on or if s/he isn't on a Windows PC there's still an obvious thing to do: open the file called "Open_Me".

Not forgetting of course that all links will have to be relative <a href=&quot;nextpage.htm&quot;> and not a FQDN
<a href=&quot;

http://www.mydomain.com/nextpage.htm&quot;>

and any SSI on the site won't work.

On other thing to consider is that a high number of businesses receiving this CD may throw it straight out without looking at it.

Most businesses, large and small will avoid doing anything like this that in their eyes could infect their machines with a virus.

Hope this helps
