If you have questions about using Interest!ALERT SiteNews that are not answered below, please email them to sitenews@interestalert.com.
Here are 3 basic methods to add news to your site.
Embedding News into your page
To embed news directly into a page, cut and paste the JavaScript into the page using any standard web editor.
Note: Netscape Navigator 2.x and below and Internet Explorer 3.x and below do not support JavaScript embedding.
<SCRIPT language="javascript"
SRC=http://interestalert.com/cgi-bin/rmt/siteia/nph-sitenews.js?
Sys=yoursite&Sum=yes&Date=yes&From=0&Cnt=2&Cols=2&St=Style4&
Fid=WOMNEWS1,WOMPOLIT,WOMSPORT,HEALTHCA,ENVIRONM,CONSERVA></SCRIPT>
* * * Important note for FrontPage or Claris HomePage users * * *
These page generators will try to convert the javascript code to viewable text.
If they do that, you will see the code, not the news.
To insert the code, Look for the "Insert" menu item. Choose "HTML".
This should bring up a dialog box where you can paste the javascript code.
Paste the code, click OK and test your page - you should see the news.
Linking To the News
To link to your news page, set up a hyperLink from text or a graphic. Copy and paste the url into your page.
<A HREF="http://interestalert.com/cgi-bin/rmt/siteia/nph-sitenews?
Sys=yoursite&Sum=yes&Date=yes&From=0&Cnt=2&Cols=2&St=Style4&
Fid=WOMNEWS1,WOMPOLIT,WOMSPORT,HEALTHCA,ENVIRONM,CONSERVA">
Womem's News</A>
Framing the News
To frame your news, create a frameset page. Copy and paste the link into one frame.
Here is an example of a page with two frames. The top frame could contain your logo or navigation, and the bottom frame could be used to display your news.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Site News</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="100,*" frameborder="0"
framespacing="0" border="0">
<FRAME SRC="topframe.html" name="header"
SCROLLING="no" MARGINHEIGHT=0
MARGINWIDTH=0>
<FRAME SRC="http://interestalert.com/cgi-bin/rmt/siteia/nph-sitenews?
Sys=yoursite&Sum=yes&Date=yes&From=0&Cnt=2&Cols=2&St=Style4&
Fid=WOMNEWS1,WOMPOLIT,WOMSPORT,HEALTHCA,ENVIRONM,CONSERVA";
NAME="content" SCROLLING="auto" MARGINHEIGHT=0
MARGINWIDTH=0>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
To use this code for your site...
Create your own topframe.html page.
Change the url for the second frame to your own link
Setting the font when using javascript
The SiteNews block will use the default font. Note that you can set the font Face before calling the javascript, Browsers ignore other font settings such as color and size because the news block is in a table.
<FONT face=Arial,Helvetica>
