[Xerte] change 800x600

Fri Sep 21 13:19:24 BST 2007

The obvious thing to do would be for eXe to make it easy to include a
Xerte piece in one of it's pages. eXe creates web pages, so in theory it
ought to be easy to include a Xerte piece in an eXe piece.

When you publish a Xerte file, you get the html and a bunch of other
supportng files. If you look at the html file, you should easily see
which tags you need to copy and paste into an eXe web page to include
Xerte content in an eXe piece:

The Xerte htrml is this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Interactive Learning Content</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1){
  VoiceObj = new ActiveXObject("Sapi.SpVoice");
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src = "rloObject.js"></script>
</head>

<body>

<div align = "left">
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
myRLO = new rloObject('800','600','example.rlo');
</script>
</div>

</body>
</html>

You need to add the div tag and it's contents, and two script tags in
the head to your own (eXe) pages, and then include the other files Xerte
produces in the same folder as the eXe page.

Have a good weekend,

Julian

Hello Julian,

I have been using eXe to create a digital portfolio for myself, and have
had some students build arts-based games with it.  I find it makes an
aeesthetically pleasing webpage without having to use dreamweaver.

Here is my site http://www.ucalgary.ca/~sderaspo/ePortfolio/index.html

As for a collaboration, well, your strengths seem to be the layout and
support for first time users.  I would like to see both become more
accessibility oriented, with SMIL media, etc.

But what do I know - really, I'm on the artsy end of these techs. :)

Stefan
