Mapit is a simple drag-and-drop software tool which facilitates the construction of complex decision logic in HTML format. The end-users are presented with clean, clear web pages that show questions and gather answers. The navigation is setup through simple visual techniques such as dragging an arrow from page to page in the designer.

Scripts to HTML

Mapit Scripts Are Saved as HTML for your Website or Intranet

Once you have completed the development of your Mapit Script you can publish the finished product as HTML for use on your website or intranet.

Mapit Designer will automatically produce the HTML and will save elements such as images, cascading stylesheets (CSS) and javascript either in the .html file or in a sub-directory. These files or directories can then be installed on your webserver.

Mapit Scripts can be incorporated into your pages by substituting your own CSS and javascript in place of that created by Mapit Designer.

Alternatively Mapit Scripts can be incorporated into your web pages using iFrames

Images

Images can be inserted into Mapit Scripts to increase the impact of your message and to improve the customer experience. Mapit Designer includes a WYSIWYG html editor with graphics and text handling capabilities.

Images can be accessed through a sub-directory associated with each individual script you create, a local images directory on your website or by url reference to other locations.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

As a default setting Mapit Designer creates a CSS file for each Mapit Script developed.

This CSS can be incorporated into the resultant html file using the <style> tab but this option can impede any chance of subsequent changes to the appearance of the file.

CSS can also be saved as a file in a sub-directory associated with the html. This file can be edited or completely replaced to change the appearance of a Script

Alternatively CSS can be downloaded from an Internet location. This option should be selected if you want to place the HTML document in a Document Management System, Intranet or Website where you want to centrally control the CSS used for many Mapit Documents.

Javascript

Mapit Designer creates javascript as part of the process of publishing Mapit Scripts. As with CSS there are three options for storing the javascript.

The javascript can be embedded in the HTML file inside a <script> tag. This option should be selected if you want to minimise the number of external files that are created in the HTML Export process.

The javascript can be saved in a sub-directory as a .js file.

The javascript can be downloaded from an Internet location. This option should be selected if you want to place the HTML document in a Document Management System, Intranet or Website where you want to centrally control the javascript used for many Mapit Documents.
