How These Pages Were Put Together

When you choose an item from the Help menu, the web browser displays an URL that looks like the following:

file:/usr/share/Insight/library/SGI_bookshelves/Help/books
/CosmoCode_Guide/common/index.htm?doc_home.htm

The index.htm file creates two frames and places whatever appears after the ? in the bottom frame. Take a look at the HTML source for index.htm to see the JavaScript that interprets the the ?doc_home.htm.

To give you the maximum amount of screen space, a third frame, the index frame, can be switched on and off as needed. The JavaScript code for this behavior resides in the files CosmoCode_Guide/common/bkgrd.htm and CosmoCode_Guide/common/bkgrd2.htm. These two files contain the icons that are displayed in the top frame of the web browser. When you first open a page from the Help menu, bkgrd.htm is displayed in the top frame.
