THTMLDataSource Component

The THTMLDataSource component is a non-visual component that helps in 
generating HTML tables from Delphi data sources. It hides most of the 
complexities of HTML from the user, while providing some error checking 
as well.

Note that it requires the THTMLWriter component to function (also 
available from the author).

The files for this component are described below.

HTMLDATA.PAS  The code for the THTMLDataSource component.
HTMLDATA.DCU  The compiled unit for the component.
HTMLDATA.DCR  The picture that appears on the component palette.
HTMLDATA.ICO  The icon for the demo.
HTMLDATA.HLP  Help for the new component.
HTMLDATA.KWF  Help keywords for the new component.

HTMLDDEM.DPR  The project for the demo program.
HTMLDDEM.OPT  Options for demo project.
HTMLDDEM.RES  Resources for demo project.
HTMLDDE1.PAS  Demo form unit.
HTMLDDE1.DFM  Demo form resources.

WEBSITE.*     A sample database table used in the demo.
README.TXT    This file.

Install the component as described below.

I suggest that you place the following files in the designated libraries :

HTMLDATA.DCR and HTMLDATA.DCU in DELPHI\LIB
HTMLDATA.HLP in DELPHI\BIN
HTMLDATA.KWF in DELPHI\HELP

with the remainder in another directory, eg. DELPHI\COMPS.

Then install the new component :

1. Select Options|Install components... from the menu.
2. Add HTMLData to the list of units.
3. Click OK to start the installation.

The new HTMLDataSource component will appear on the WWW page
of the component palette.

Then merge the component help keywords into Delphi's list :

1. Select the HelpInst icon in the Delphi group.
2. Open file Delphi.hdx in DELPHI\BIN.
3. Add HTMLData.kwf to the list of keyword files.
4. Compile and save the .hdx file.

Then open the demo and see what it can do! After that you're on your own.

This component is freeware. Any correspondence or improvements
