AOLserver Dynamic Pages (ADPs) -- Building ADPs

### Building ADPs

1. Create an HTML page. Use an HTML editor or a file editor to create an HTML page. Be sure to either name the file with the correct extension or save it in the correct directory on your server as specified by the Map parameter setting.

   If you plan to use the Tcl script to return part or all of the page's content, just omit that part of the page, but you can create all of the surrounding HTML.

2. Add your Tcl scripts with a file editor. Insert your Tcl scripts in the HTML file where you want them to be processed. Be sure to enclose each Tcl script using one of the <script> or <% ...%> syntaxes (see page 9). Save the HTML file.

3. View the HTML page in a browser. Visit the page you have created in a browser to see if the Tcl scripts work correctly. If you have set the EnableDebug parameter, you can append "?debug" to the URL to enable TclPro debugging.

4. Continue editing and viewing until it works correctly. Continue editing the page in a file editor, saving it, and refreshing it in a browser until it works the way you want it to.
