More advanced HTML features: Guestbook

We have created a way for users and groups at Lehigh to have their own guestbook s. If you choose to have your own guestbook, it will work nearly the same way a s Lehigh's guestbook. There are two actions that can take place:
  1. A visitor can look at your guestbook in its entirety
  2. A visitor can sign your guestbook, adding their entry to previous entries.
If you would like your own guestbook, perform the following steps:
  1. Log in to the Compute Server (rigel.cc.lehigh.edu) and enter /ahome/www/bin/gbsetup at any system prompt.
  2. Change to your guestbook directory with the command
    3. cd  /ahome/userid/public/www-data/guestbook
    where userid is your userid.
  3. Edit the file named signin.html and substitute your username for the text YOUR USERNAME in the line that reads:
    4. <input type="hidden" name="username" value="YOUR USERNAME">
  4. Create an anchor in one of your home page files to guestbook.html in the guestbook directory.
Note: You can change the text in either of the files in your guestbook di rectory, add graphics, move the fields around, etc. But, you must ensure the fo llowing:
  1. The name of the file guestbook.html must remain the same and reside in the guestbook sub-directory.
  2. You must leave all the fields in signin.html, and not change their names. You can change their placement, but not their names.
Note: you may only have one guestbook per account.
