Hello there,

Thanks for looking into my problem. I have access to an online version of a medical textbook i use. The problem is that the page is either in frames or java. I cant figure it out.

I would very much like to use it on my pda and probably share it with others too. If anyone can convert this page to isilo format please send me a private message or email and I'll email them the user id and password. The website is

www.davidsonmedicine.com

I do hope someone responds :D

God Bless and have a blessed day.

You won't be able to convert the entire content set there without some work. This is what you will need to do:

1. Expand the entire table of contents tree so that you have a direct link to all pages.
2. Copy the HTML of the expaned table of contents. In Internet Explorer, right-click a blank area in the table of contents and click View Source, which by default opens the HTML source in Notepad.
3. In Notepad, replace (Edit menu/Replace) all instances of "&framesource=toc" (without the quotes) with nothing.
4. Replace all instances of "body.cfm" (without the quotes) with http://www.davidsonmedicine.com/content/bookcontent.cfm.
5. Save the file to your hard drive (e.g., as davisonmedicine.htm).
6. Convert that file.

Note that the content there is copyrighted so please be careful about offering to share it with others unless they also have the right to the content.
