Site Map Question

[reportingbuzz]

Hi,

How does one go about creating a site-map for a web site that does not have one?

If the site is really big - 50 to 100 pages of ASP pages, then how does one do it?

Does one go through all the sites ASP pages and then add accordingly to the sitemap.asp or sitemap.html

Any guidelines, any rules?

Thanks.

I would say that is the best way for you to create it. Then again you might be able to find some 3rd party software out there somewhere in the WWW.

I know that frontpage will do this, but I would stay away from frontpage.

please don't ever repeat those words in the programming forums again ;-)

Method.

1) Create a function to run through each page on the site
2) Create a function to parse out all <a href=""></a>. Return URL (recommendations....only use RegEx)
3) Build a tree (Part of next step)
4) Export the tree to XML
5) Write a function to output the XML in friendly format to a page.

end result, site map Something around that order or mixed up
