Internet Explorer Construction Kit

How This Book Is Organized

This book has six parts, but you don’t have to read the parts in any special order. If, for example, you want to build a browser or two right away, feel free to jump ahead to Part V, where you’ll find step-by-step instructions for building eight unique browser designs. If you want to know more about the Browser Construction Kit’s many commands, Part II gives you what you need. Get the idea? To help you on your way, here’s a brief roadmap of the book.

Part I: Making Your Own Internet Explorer

If you want to get a quick introduction to the Browser Construction Kit and the things you can do with it, Part I is the place to start. Along the way, you also discover good reasons for creating browsers (as if you need any), as well as discover what parts of a browser are easily customizable.

Part II: Customizing the Look of the Browser

This part goes through the Browser Construction Kit in detail, showing you how to use its many controls and commands, as well as how all the parts fit together to create a unique browser design.

Part III: Creating Browser Graphics

Many components of your custom browser can display images that you create yourself with a paint program. These images include backgrounds for the window, border images, button images, and much more. In this part of the book, you discover how to make the images you need for your browser — and all without having to go to art school for four years!

Part IV: Controlling the Behavior of the Browser

This is the second part of the book that deals in detail with the workings of the Browser Construction Kit. Here, you find out about alarms, locks, passwords, timers, automatic screen captures, log files, and more.

Part V: Designing Customized Web Browser Projects

The Browser Construction Kit is all about creating browsers, of course, and this part is where you put together browser designs that I’ve created for you, to demonstrate the many ways you can use the Browser Construction Kit. In this part, step-by-step procedures lead you through the construction of eight different browsers.

Part VI: The Part of Tens

For people who want to really expand their custom-browser-creation horizons, this part of the book offers ten themed browser projects, as well as ten tools and resources for learning more about programming Internet Explorer — if you choose to take it that far.
