This serves as a listing of courses. The information comes from the catalog posted on abacus via a cgi script. All navigation is normal.

Screen shots: Fields: Field Explanation: Field specs:
Import_html This field imports XML through the use of a script that grabs HTML from the old abacus site. By choosing the option courses, it takes the list of courses from the abacus catalog page for that department. (Script written by Jim Hart at ILS) The script also changes links from the old page so that they work in the new environment Pretty complex. It's best to copy it from another department page. Be sure to update 3 or 4 letter dept. code within link
