HTML Autoplay Documentation

1.3

Summary

HTML Autoplay provides a way to combine Windows CD Autoplay functionality with HTML UI authoring. This allows for very flexible, dynamic presentations using standard HTML tags. Since HTML Autoplay embeds the client's Internet Explorer rendering machinery into a modal dialog, all functionality exposed by IE is available to your Autoplay application.

The latest version of this documentation will always be available at http://www.lemurcatta.net/html/autoplay.

Contributions

Although both the binary and source code are available for free, contributions to the cause are not frowned upon. Suggestions include:

Client Requirements

Client machines must support the following:

  1. Internet Explorer 4.x or higher

Note that if you wish to embed Flash or other third-party content formats in your HTML you will need to ensure that all clients have the required plugins or code your HTML to work around missing plugin support. Contact me if you want to discuss other options (such as installing the plugin before showing the dialog).

Usage

HTML Autoplay uses commands stored in the autorun.inf file to connect UI events to system operations. There is also a standard [Main] section which configures the dialog itself. More information about these sections is provided in the included autorun.inf or on the Modules page.
