Foil 46 Self Documenting Index-mainframe sets

From CPS616 Lectures on JavaScript CPS616 Basic Information Track for Computational Science -- Winter-Spring Semester 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

An Interesting use of JavaScript is produce documents that carry with them the necessary information to be used in a Index -- manframe example system
The idea is that pages loaded into subsidiary frames carry with them the necessary JavaScript to set appropriate control structures in top (the HTML page defining frames)
For instance there could be FIRST NEXT CAROUSEL PREVIOUS etc. options in top to loop through URL's of a given set
These can be neatly preset by a call to a routine such as AccumulateInfo on following foil
Options specify name (worldname) or need for special processing (style)
Other options specify URL's of related documents -- indices/Foils to loop through etc.
Note all calls are optional
