Content Linking Component

The Content Linking component manages a list of URLs so that you can treat the pages in your Web site like the pages in a book. You can use the Content Linking component to generate and update automatically tables of contents and navigational links to previous and subsequent Web pages. This is ideal for applications such as online newspapers and forum message listings.

The Content Linking component references a Content Linking List file that contains the list of the linked Web pages. This list is stored on the Web server.

Example

The following example builds a table of contents.

<ol>
<%  Set NextLink = Server.CreateObject ("MSWC.NextLink") %>  
<%  count = NextLink.GetListCount ("/data/nextlink.txt") %> 
<%  I = 1 %> 

<ul>
<%  Do While (I <= count)  %>  
<li><a href=" <%= NextLink.GetNthURL ("/data/nextlink.txt", I)  %>  "> 
<%= NextLink.GetNthDescription ("/data/nextlink.txt", I) %>  </a> 
<%  I = (I + 1)  %>  
<%  Loop  %>  

</ul>
</ol>
 

The following script adds the next-page and previous-page buttons to an HTML file.

<%  Set NextLink = Server.CreateObject ("MSWC.NextLink") %>  
<%  If (NextLink.GetListIndex ("/data/nextlink.txt") > 1) Then %> 

<a href="  <%= NextLink.GetPreviousURL ("/data/nextlink.txt")  %>  ">

Previous Page</a> 
<%  End If  %>  
<a href="  <%= NextLink.GetNextURL ("/data/nextlink.txt")  %>  ">Next Page</a>
