Just
8 easy steps to a whole new navigation system
... and 2 optional others for even more choices and fun! |
|
|
|
1 | Open
the 1st JAVA Navigator - Commander This is the easy to use main management (editing) tool. You will find it under the "Auscomp - 1st JAVA Navigator" group in the windows start menu. First have a look at the example of how the Commander works by clicking on the "Demo" button. A file will be automatically imported. Simply hit the Preview button and see how easy it can all be. |
|
|
2 | Now
click
on the New button. You will be asked to select between the 3 different navigation styles (Java applets) that are included in Auscomp's 1st JAVA Navigator. There is a choice of the Tab & Tree combination, the Tree only or the Tab only. To make construction even easier, you can now also choose one of the "ready-made" themes provided (see list below). Once selected, the Preview panel will display a brief view of what your selection is likely to look like (the example below is the High Technology - "Hightech" theme): |

|
3 | You
will then be asked where you would like your work saved to. If you do not specify a location, your work will automatically be saved to the "projects" sub-directory in the 1st JAVA Navigator directory by default. |
|
|
4 | Main
control Tab Panel Component This is the main control panel that you will use to construct the selected navigation system for your site. For example: |
|
|
5 | Preview At any stage, feel free to take a look at what you've just created by clicking the Preview button. Your work will automatically show up in your default browser.
|
![]() |
|
|
|
6 | Save After you are happy with your work, simply hit the Save button and all necessary files will be saved into the directory that was specified earlier (back in Step 3) or to the default directory ("projects" sub-directory in the 1st JAVA Navigator directory).
|
|
|
7 | Deploy Now you can choose to activate your new navigation system in a frame enabled system (like this on-line documentation and on Auscomp's own web site) or into a Floating Window (like Auscomp's FAQ section) by using the Deploy button. |
|
|
8 | Upload Now, to make it all work properly, if you hit the Upload button, a report will be generated (which may be printed out for easier reference or for record keeping) which will give you a detailed report of EXACTLY which files need to be uploaded to your web server - can't get much easier than that!
... DONE! |
