    JavaScript -> HTML

    I know this sound strange. I need is to convert a JavaScript Web site into
    HTML so Atomz <http://www.atomz.com/> can generate a search index for the
    site.

    Is there such a utility?

    ...John

      JavaScript does most everything on the site.
      Check it out at <http://lotsoflinks.joh ntelford.com/>

        Well, I want to start out by saying that I really like the navigation of
        this site. It feels like a book, and I like that. Well done.

        From what I _understand_ of your code, you are dynamically creating all
        of your content, from some sort of database. (When I say database, I
        dont necessarially mean Sybase, MySQL, Oracle, etc... I simply mean some
        sort of central location of the data, being a flatfile, or whatever.)
        Though, it is possible that your pages of links are individual pages.

        From what I understand of Orbits, it will traverse your site, by links.
        If you are using a database to dynamically create your content, it
        would be like asking Orbits to index Ebay... it is not really possible.
        Although, if you are using a database, you can create your own search
        engine.

        If, instead, you are using the multiple pages approach, and loading
        their content on the fly, then you may have something you can do... All
        you really need to do, is have the pages linked from a page somehow.

        One idea is to put links to all of your pages in a <DIV> tag, inside one
        of your frames. Make the <DIV> hidden. Orbits will see it, but your
        users wont. Then, on each content page, include some javascript that
        will check to make sure that the book wrapper is there, and reload with
        the book wrapper. Orbits will make a link to the content, and the user
        will see the page as you intend.

        Just some thoughts... regardless of anything, you should probably create
        a non-Javascript page option, since browsers without Javascript will
        never be able to use your page.
