With the LiveWire compiler you can create LiveWire applications that have JavaScript statements embedded in HTML. You can compile applications using the Site Manager's graphical interface or with a command-line interface. For more information on building applications, see Chapter 3, "Developing Applications".
LiveWire server extension
The LiveWire server extension works in concert with a Netscape server to run applications, creating interactive Web pages. The LiveWire server extension is built into Netscape version 2.0 servers.
The LiveWire server extension provides
Navigator Gold
Navigator Gold is an edition of Netscape Navigator that provides a WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") interface for creating and editing HTML pages, including the ability to edit JavaScript statements embedded in HTML.
For more information on using Navigator Gold to create and edit Web pages, see the Navigator Gold Authoring Guide.
LiveWire Pro
LiveWire Pro adds two components to the basic LiveWire set: a Structured Query Language (SQL) database server and Crystal Reports report generator. With the database server you can create and run database applications if you do not already have a database. Crystal Reports lets you generate HTML reports from your database. These two components have their own documentation.
Document conventions
LiveWire runs on Unix, Windows NT, and Macintosh operating systems; the information here applies to all versions. File and directory paths are given in Windows format (with backslashes separating directory names). For Unix versions, the directory paths are the same, except slashes instead of backslashes separate directories.
This book uses URLs of the form
http://server.domain/path/file.html
In these URLs, server represents the name of the server on which you are running LiveWire, such as "research1"
or "www
," and domain represents your Internet domain name, such as "netscape.com"
or "uiuc.edu
." You might not need to specify your domain name when the client itself is within the domain, but you should use your domain name for pages visible outside your domain. In general, items in italics in URLs are variables, and items in normal Courier font are literals.
This book uses the following typographical conventions:
if (x == 3) doSomething()
