1. Using or Linking Webglimpse

Note: This record is meant for users with "Search Engine" in their Account Manager.

There are two ways to get the WebGlimpse search engine into webpages.

1) Create a link to http://domainname/wgindex.html (which opens to the pre-designed search page).

2) To add search to a custom existing page, open http://domainname/wgindex.html and copy the body portion of the html code. Paste it into the target page html markup. The target page must be located in the same directory as the original wgindex.html file.

Here is a sample of the HTML markup for the Webglimpse search engine:

---------------------
<center>
<table border=5>
<tr><td align=center valign=middle>
<a href="http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/webglimpse"><img src=".glimpse-eye.jpg" alt="Webglimpse Logo" align=middle height=34 width=60></A>
</td>
<td align=center valign=middle>
<font size=+3>
<a href="http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/webglimpse">WebGlimpse</a>

</td>
</tr>
