Storing Album Collections on CD ROM - part 2


If you want a slightly more complex layout with a seen-once front page, one way of doing this is to name your start-page 'start/htm'.

Then edit the AUTORUN/INF file to refer to 'start.htm' instead of 'index.htm', and the AutoCD Choices file RUN: line to refer to 'start/htm' instead of 'index/htm'.

Your 'start page' could then have a link to the actual index page, or could load it automatically after a time delay.

The time-delay option is easily achieved by a meta-tag on the page which would look like this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30; URL=index.htm">
where the figure '30' is the delay in seconds.

This line goes in the usual place with the other meta-tags in the 'head' section between the <head> and </head> tags.

If you want the start page accessible after the start-up, then make your 'index/htm' page with the 'Add back icon' option ticked, and then edit that to point to the 'start.htm' file instead of '../index.htm' as it will be generated by Pic_Index.
