what's the best way of porting a static HTML website to a CDROM, to allow users to insert the disk, copy the files off, and then run the site "offline", as it were.
what sort of path structure should i use? at the moment all of the assets are like:
file:///C:/Users/User/Desktop/MySite/index.html
which obviously isn't very portable
thanks for any info
You should use relative paths, like
index.html
and
images/img.gif.
If you have many absolute links, search for "file:///C:/Users/User/Desktop/MySite/" and replace all with "" (or "./", to make things clearer). Notepad++ can search across all files of one directory.
To make things even clearer, create a subdirectory with all files and more subdirs and optionally an index.html in the root directory, so the user only has to copy one folder (plus one index.html).
