Hi
I recently created a website written in HTML and consisting of six pages, the owners of the site would now like to have the website on show in their offices.
I need to put the entire site on CD (easy enough) and have it self load and scroll through all the pages with a set pause between each page and running on an endless loop.
Does anyone know of any sofware that would assist me in the creation of such a project.
Any help ould be gratefully accepted.
Cheers
Gags ;)

A concise, practical plan based on 's goal (CD, auto-load, pause, endless loop) and 's video suggestion.

Two reliable paths:

  • Keep the site as static HTML and use a single wrapper page that cycles the six pages in an iframe. This retains interactivity and keeps everything offline if all assets are local.
  • Produce a single looping video of the site run-through (screen capture) if interactivity is not required or if the site uses deprecated plugins (Flash will not run in modern browsers).

Example wrapper (place this as index.html on the CD; use relative paths and bundle every asset locally):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><meta charset="utf-8"><title>Loop</title>
<style>html,body,iframe{height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;border:0}</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="viewer" src=""></iframe>
<script>
(function(){
  var pages = ['page1.html','page2.html','page3.html','page4.html','page5.html','page6.html'];
  var delay = 5000; // pause in ms
  var i = 0;
  function showNext(){ document.getElementById('viewer').src = pages[i]; i = (i+1) % pages.length; }
  window.addEventListener('load', function(){ showNext(); setInterval(showNext, delay); });
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Notes and gotchas:

  • Replace Flash pieces before shipping: modern systems no longer support Flash; convert to video or HTML5.
  • Make all URLs relative and copy external libraries/fonts/images into the CD tree.
  • Autorun can be added via an autorun.inf on the disc, but behavior varies by OS and security settings—test on the actual office machines. Also consider launching a browser in kiosk mode (shortcut with --kiosk or similar) for a full-screen loop. Finally, check CD size (700MB) and compress video if using the recording approach.

Hi there,

you can create the website presentation using Flash or Camtasia Studio,

Hi Rahul
Thanks for the reply I will look into Camtasia, the site has too many elements and flash components to convert the whole thing into flash.

Also In my view Camtasia Studio, is good to create the video presentation
