Most Bibles viewed on the Internet are created by a Common Gateways Interface
(CGI) program, and are not
very portable. A web server and must be installed to get them to run.
The HTML Bible consists of 1,189 "flat" HTML Web pages. It does not require a
web server, and can operate on almost any platform.
All that is required is to have a Computer and a Browser, such as Netscape or
Internet Explorer. The HTML
Bible can function as a collection of files located in a folder on your hard drive.
The HTML Bible was created by using Visual Basic 5.0 to convert and load
public domain Bible texts available from Bible Foundation, at
www.bf.org. Without the public domain texts from
Bible Foundation, this work
would not have been possible.
After the texts were loaded to the
Access 97 database, another VB program checked the data for accuracy.
A third program then
converted the data from Access to 1,189 chapter text files and an index file
with .htm extensions, with
the appropriate HTML tags inserted for presenting the data in a table format.
The VB program wrote the hyperlinks between each adjoining chapter and to and
from the index page.
Hyperlinks between related verses concerning the same topic
have been manually installed.
To increase access speed, each chapter of the Bible is presented as one
HTML file. There are 1,189 chapter-files in the Internet Bible, plus an index,
license, and About file. The chapter filenames are arranged as follows: For Genesis 1, the filename will be B01C001.htm. For Matthew 24, the
filename will be B40C024.htm The following is a list of Books, with the book number used in the numbering
scheme, and maximum number of chapters: Inside each Chapter, there is a further reference to the specific verse,
which can be integrated with any other HTML document. For example, to link
directly to Matthew 5:17, the following link is used:
< A HREF="B40C005.htm#V17">
Matthew 5:17</A> The link to the verse in each chapter always begins with "V" and the verse number.
A commentary converted to HTML can link to the appropriate verse in the HTML Bible,
and allow the reader to view the verse in its context.
