Advanced Topics and the "Fancy Stuff"

• EVE/EDFOR HTML Style

  If you edit a file named filename.HTML using EVE/EDFOR on MSUPA, then many of the most common HTML structures may be automatically generated by macros consisting of "<Keypad-Enter>"+<letter>. "<Keypad-Enter>"+<Keypad-PF2> will induce a listing of available macros to be displayed.

• Image Maps
  Example

  The next generation of Image Map will allow for client-side co-ordinate translation: when you run the pointer over the image, the status line will be able to show the link names (as it will for standard text links now), instead of just x-y co-ordinates, as they do now.

• Access limitations
• Forms
  Example
• CGI programs and Server-Side Includes
  such as:
  Date: Sunday, 20 July 2008
  Time: 20:32:55 EDT
  
  • One use for such programs is to provide the current status of non-permanent information (such as the access time generated above);
  • another is to provide ad hoc security provisions for information access (when a server's built-in security features may be either overkill or insufficient in some way).
• Scanners
  • CMP Scanner in Room 203B
  • HEP Scanner
  • Scanning Software
  • Optical Character Recognition Software

  Scanner training will be available from one of our student assistants during Summer Semester 1996.
