Format of the HTML Base File

Previous Top Next
The HTML AutoRun Window is an HTML browser window, which is displayed when the CD is inserted in the disc drive. The AutoRun implements the buttons that you define by intercepting hyperlinks activated by the user that have an AutoRun Architect target. The format for these buttons are "aa:<button-name>" where <button-name> is the name of the button that you are implementing. The following is an example of a basic base file for the AutoRun Window that allows the user to choose one of the three standard buttons: Install, Run and Exit.
<html>
<head>
<title>AutoRun</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>AutoRun</h1>
<a href="aa:Install">Install</a>
<br>
<br>
<a href="aa:Run">Run</a>
<br>
<br>
<a href="aa:Exit">Exit</a>
<br>
<br>
</body>
</html>
 
If you were to define a new button and call it "Help" then the hyperlink for the button would need to have a target of "aa:Help" and the Autorun file would look like the following:
 
<html>
<head>
<title>AutoRun</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>AutoRun</h1>
<a href="aa:Install">Install</a>
<br>
<br>
<a href="aa:Run">Run</a>
<br>
<br>
<a href="aa:Help">Help</a>
<br>
<br>
<a href="aa:Exit">Exit</a>
<br>
<br>
</body>
</html>
