findinsite-cd word highlighting in a frameset using fisLight

This page shows FindinSite-CD running in the main pane of a frameset, with the fisLight Java applet running in the small bottom pane. All results are displayed in this pane, with words highlighted if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4+ for Windows and some other browsers.

Use this window layout if you don't like the FindinSite-CD popup window, or if you use frames anyway.

FindinSite-CD Word Highlighting in a frameset using fisLight

fisLight

fisLight is a Java applet that does word highlighting on FindinSite-CD's behalf.
When you use fisLight in a frameset, you can have almost any frameset arrangement you like, provided that fisLight is in a different pane to FindinSite-CD. fisLight itself is invisible and the fisLight pane can have zero width or height.
The following example frameset uses a narrow horizontal pane at the bottom of the window called "fisLight" and a main information display pane called "Main", as shown on the right. (The main pane need not show the FindinSite-CD search page initially.)
Here is a minimal web page that sets up this frameset:
<HTML>
<FRAMESET ROWS=*,50>
   <FRAME SRC=search.htm NAME="Main">         
   <FRAME SRC=fislight.htm NAME="fisLight">   
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
Here is the minimal code that you must put in fislight.htm.
<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </HEAD> <BODY> <APPLET CODE=fisLight NAME=fisLight WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 ARCHIVE=fislite1.zip MAYSCRIPT> <PARAM NAME=cabbase VALUE="fislite1.cab"> </APPLET> </BODY> </HTML>
You need to alter the standard FindinSite-CD search page for this new layout. The following basic FindinSite-CD page shows the changes highlighted in bold orange.
<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <TITLE>FindinSite-CD</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <APPLET CODE=fisCD WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=300 NAME=fisCD ARCHIVE=fiscd.zip MAYSCRIPT> <PARAM NAME=cabbase VALUE="fiscd.cab"> <PARAM NAME=index1 VALUE="MySite.his"> <PARAM NAME=rules VALUE="rulesen.txt"> <PARAM NAME=target VALUE="Main"> <PARAM NAME=highlight VALUE="frameset,1"> </APPLET> </BODY> </HTML>

Set the target parameter to Main so that the FindinSite-CD output goes in the Main pane.
Set the highlight parameter to frameset,1
The number is the frame number minus one. In this case, fisLight is in the second frame of the frameset, so put 2 minus 1 = 1 after frameset. The default frame number is zero, so the number can be omitted if fisLight is in the first frame of a frameset.
