Index DOT Html/Css is available as compressed archive of HTML files that can be expanded on your own system. Both tar.gz and .zip archives are available. Please e-mail me if you have any questions, comments or problems with the archive or if you need help with these installation instructions.

General
The way the CSS-changing script is written, it looks for the name of the root directory as "indexdot", which is the way it is on the main site. If the root directory is not called this, the CSS-changer script will not work as-is, and one or the other of these modifications are necessary:
  • Re-name the root directory of the site to "indexdot"
  • Change line 10 in [root]/scripts/csschange.js which reads:
         Path = location.href.substring(0,location.href.indexOf("indexdot/")+9);
    To this (don't forget to add one to the dir name length for the "/" character):
         Path = location.href.substring(0,location.href.indexOf("[new root dir name]")+[new root dir name length]);

Macintosh
OSX should understand .tar.gz archives automatically. (See Unix details below)
Other Mac archiving utilities: Dropstuff with Expander Enhancer for StuffIt Expander from Aladdin Systems.

PC
Winzip and other popular windows archiving utiliities can accomodate both .zip and .tar.gz archives. Just extract the files to the desired directory.

NOTE: Winzip needs to have the "Use Folder Names" option checked when expanding for things to uncompress properly.

UNIX
GZIP and TAR are common UNIX utilities, so compatibility should not be a problem here. Move the archive in the desired parent directory and type from a shell prompt:
   "gunzip html.tar.gz"
Then type:
   "tar -xvf html.tar"
This will decompress and extract all of the files to a subdirectory tree called 'html' in the current directory.
