#1. Welcome to the procedure of replication of HTML web pages,
explained on the example of Dr Jan Pajak's web pages:
#2. What is "source-code replica" and why it is better from "image replica":
When you photocopy a document, or make
another reprint from a photo, you prepare an "image replica" of it.
But if you duplicate a source code of a computer program (in a given programming
language), you prepare a "source-code replica" of it. Web pages you can
replicate in two ways. Namely, you can make their "source replicas", or their
"image replicas". (In spite that almost every browser allows you to make "image
replicas" of web pages in quite a simple way, making source replicas of these
web pages is a much more difficult task.)
Note that "source-code replicas" are
much better than "image replicas". For example, source replicas allow to find,
add, and complete missing components of given web pages (e.g. missing
illustrations or missing text files) from other servers and/or other
web pages. They also allow us to learn principles of web page
design and programming.
#3. Advantages and disadvantages of preparing "source-code replicas" of my web pages:
For some readers that work
on problems addressed on my web pages, it would be highly
beneficial to have in their own computers replicas of
selected such pages, together with all their illustrations,
texts, links, etc. After all, in case of having such replicas,
one can later view given web pages, or print them, directly from
his/her own computer, not from the Internet. Thus, one becomes
independent from the access to Internet in each situation
when he/she wishes to have a good look at my web pages, or
at illustrations that my web pages display. Waiting for
opening given web pages is then also incomparably shorter
than waiting for opening an Internet page. Then also it is
NOT needed to put up with all these subtle obstructions
which seem to plague my web pages almost as it these are
continually sabotaged by "little green UFOnauts" of some sort.
So for these readers, who wish to make a "source replica"
of any my web page in their own computer, below I am describing
step-by-step how to accomplish this. This description reveals
thoroughly how to prepare the so-called "source replica" of
the web page, means a replica prepared in the programming
language called "HTML" in which my web pages are originally
coded. Note that such a "source replica" is much better than
an "image replica" (which almost every browser allows to make
in quite a simple way). For example, it allows to gradually
complete all missing components of a given web page (e.g.
missing illustrations or text files) from other servers.
It alows to update separately each selected component of
the web page as soon as we meet in Internet their better
versions. It also allows us to learn principles of web
page programming, thus it can be for us a first step towards
later making our own web pages. Here are instructions for
producing such "source replicas" from my web pages.
#4. How to begin, means how to open in our computer a new folder for storing my web pages and their enclosures:
Create a folder named "a_pajak"
(or "archives_pajak") on your hard disk "c:". This folder is to hold all
the web pages that you may wish to replicate in your computer. To create
such a folder, run a utility program named "Windows Explorer" or "My Computer",
choose "Local Disk (C:)" for the "Address" in this utility program, then
click on "File" in the pull-down menu from this "Windows Explorer", then
click "New", finally choose the command "folder". Type the name "a_pajak"
to be the name of a new folder that you created on you hard disk. Later
you are to use this folder "a_pajak" for storing all my web pages that
you wish to keep in you own computer.
#5. Creation of new subfolders (also called "sub-directories") for subsequent groups of ilustrations and texts:
These need to be placed inside
of this main folder named "a_pajak". These sub-folders are
to contain subsequent kinds of texts and illustrations displayed
or accessed through this web page. Here is the list of sub-folders
that are used by this web page:
14 - it contains all the illustrations which are used by
this web page and also are used in monograph [1/4].
54 - it contains illustrations that originally are used
in my monographs [5/3e] and [5/4p].
1e - it contains illustrations that originally are used
in my monograph [1e].
2e - it contains illustrations that originally are used
in my monograph [2e].
4c - it contains illustrations that originally are used
in my Polish monograph [4c].
cr - it contains illustrations that ilustrate landscaspes
and curiosities of New Zealand.
malbork - it contains illustrations that ilustrate views
and curiosities of the Malbork Castle of Teutonic Knights from
Poland.
milicz - it contains illustrations that ilustrate views
and curiosities of the Milicz township in Poland.
... - there is much more such folders containing
illustrations or texts devoted to specific subjects.
flags - it contains images of flags (i.e. German, Spanish,
French, Italian, Polish, and English) used in my web pages. These
images of flags are contained in files named de_flag.gif, es_flag.gif,
fr_flag.gif, it_flag.gif, pl_flag.gif, uk_flag.gif. Any flags
scanned into "*.gif" files with the above names, can be used for
this purpose.
In order to create such sub-folders, again it is enough to shift
the "Windows Explorer" inside of the folder "a_pajak" and then
generate them one by one.
#6. Saving the source code of a given web page:
These need to land in your folder "a_pajak".
For this, "right click" on your mouse while pointing
it any text area of this web page (e.g. pointing right here). A small menu
should appear, which is to have the option "View Source". Click on this menu
option, and the source code of complete this web page appears in your text
editor named "Notepad". Click on the "File" pull-down menu from this "Notepad"
and choose the option "Save As...". Save the source code from your "Notepad"
using the "replicate.htm" for "File name" of the code of this web page, while
for the "Save in" pointing at the folder "c:\a_pajak" that you created earlier.
Notice that pages called via links from this page, should be saved
under slightly different names assigned to them, namely: "oscillatory_chamber.htm"
for the web page on the "Oscillatory Chamber", "magnocraft_pl.htm" for the Polish
version of this web page, etc.
#7. Saving illustrations:
Right click
separately on each illustration from this web page, then choose the option
"Save Picture As". The majority of illustrations you need to save in the
subfolder "54", the remaining ones in the subfolder "14".
Notice that each illustration indicates at the bottom of
the screen the subfolder in which it is to be saved.
#8. Run web pages that are replicated in your own computer:
After you save this web page,
you can run it in your own computer whenever
you wish, by simple pointing at the file "magnocraft.htm" (i.e. the one with
the source code of this web page) using the "Windows Explorer" for this pointing,
and then double clicking at this file. (You can also run this file by pointing
the "Windows Explorer" at it, and then pressing "Enter".) Pages linked with this
one via hyperlinks can also be displayed through clicking on these hyperlinks
while viewing this page, or can be displayed through clicking via the "Windows
Explorer" at their names, means e.g. at "oscillatory_chamber.htm", or "pajak_jan_uk.htm".
#9. (Conditional) removal of banners:
Free
servers on which for the understandable reasons I display all my web sites,
usually insert codes of banners to the source code of web pages that are
displayed on them (frequently codes of these banners contain various irritating
errors which try to make viewing my web pages quite difficult). If these banners
irritate you, you can optionally cut them out from
the source code of this web page, after you save this code in your own computer.
To cut the banners out you need to identify their code (either by addresses
referred in this code and starting from "http://...", or by seeking the
comment type "banner insertion ..." which appears at the beginning and
at the end of the banners' code).
#10. Updating and extending the own archive of such web pages:
If someone is especially interested in descriptions contained on this
web page, then it would be desirable to check in Internet every let say couple of
months, whether description from this web page are updated and improved. If so, then
it is worth to replace the old version of this web page with this improved version.
For this, it is enough to rename the old replica kept in your computer by adding
the word "old_" in front of it, and then copy from the internet a new version
to store it under the original name that it has.
#11. How to download to your own computer ready-made source replicas of my web pages:
Selected out of my web pages
already have a source replica prepared by myself, and awayting
for you download it to your computer. You can find their source
replicas store at some addresses listed in their "Menu 3". Such
source replicas of these web pages already include all files,
folders, subfolders, illustrations, etc., needed for their run.
In addition, they do NOT have advertising banners. They await
to be downloaded in the ZIP format. All what it takes to make
them work for you, is to download them to your own computer
and then UNZIP them.
In order to download them
to your own computer, you need to click in "Menu 1" on the
menu item marked
"Source replica of this page".
So try to click, because such a source replica may be available here
(i.e. at this address) and it would be handy to have it in your
own computer, or at least handy to try how you manage to download it.
After such a ZIPped source replica downloads to your computer,
all what you need to do is UNZIP it onto your hard disk. After
UNZIPing, it forms a separate folder in which you will find a
folder named "a_pajak" with all files, subfolders and illustrations
inside, ready for the running and displaying a given web page.
(In case you already have on your hard disk a folder named "c:\a_pajak"
with my other source web pages, it is enough if you transfer
all files and subfolders from this new folder "a_pajak" to the
already existing one named "c:\a_pajak".)
