If the offline application uses two or more Pages, or a Page contains additional images and controls, then a developer needs to create a Channel Definition Format (CDF) file and link the CDF file to the Page. Internet Explorer reads this CDF file to download all pages and HTML-related files.
The following examples shows a sample CDF file and an HTML tag added to the Page:
--applicationfilename.cdf
<?XML VERSION="1.0" ENCODING="windows-1252"?>
<CHANNEL href="default.htm"
PRECACHE="YES"
LEVEL="0">
<ITEM href="products.htm"></item>
<ITEM href="categories.htm"></item>
<ITEM href="categorydetail.htm"></item>
<ITEM href="orders.htm"></item>
<ITEM href="orderdetails.htm"></item>
<ITEM href="xmldata\categories.xml"></item>
<ITEM href="bitmaps\corplogo.gif"></item>
<ITEM href="bitmaps\shippeditem.gif"></item>
<ITEM href="bitmaps\backordereditem.gif"></item>
<ITEM href="bitmaps\discontinued.gif"></item>
</CHANNEL>
--HTML tag in data access page
<link rel = �offline� href = �applicationfilename.cdf�>
