User Manual for Andrew Stevens' AUTOMAP script.

This script automatically generates a list of links and images appearing on a user-defined url. The input form for this script will look something like the one below.

The user has two choices of output. One consists of plain a html page with bulleted lists for both links and images like the one below.

The other output choice is a DHTML page with expandable lists of links and images.
Please not that this version will only work with Netscape 4 or higher.

As you can see, the output for both versions include links to the returned elements and any information in the title tag of the web pages linked to.

Once the result page is generated, the user can either click on the url link to look any given link or image. Furthermore, one can also click on the "get a link list for this page" link to do precisely this (the new lists will be in the plain HTML fro both the plain and DHTML versions). All links off of these pages will open in a new window.

Some limitations:

The url entered must in fact lead to some existing page. If it doesn't, then one will receive an output page with empty lists. Also the script allows for url of "only" 120 characters long (I doubt that this will be a problem too often).

Also, Framesets will give confusing results, since only one of the frame's can be viewed at a time.
