By way of review, most large Web sites allow the user to create *bookmarks* which link to pages inside the Web site. However, here, the pages have one of just two URL's: http://www.r-project.org and http://cran.r-project.org The reason is the way HTML *frames* are used in setup of the Web site. It would be very helpful if the Web site were revised so that many if not most pages had their own URL's, allowing the use of bookmarks. Tom Thomas L. Jones, Ph.D., Computer Science

At least in Firefox, one thing you can do is to bring up the relevant link in a new window or tab (just right-click it) and bookmark that. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ??ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.

A solution would be a content-management system that produced the HTML of the site from some other form of input. Only the output HTML would need to be mirrored. Care to put together such a thing, and import all the existing pages into it? Duncan Murdoch
I'm replying to: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-January/083823.html In Firefox (a browser), right click on the frame. Then you get a menu that has bookmark as one of the options.

In fact it's just as easy in Internet Explorer: right-click + Open in New Window, or Shift-Click, followed by Ctrl+D. Or, right-click + Add to Favorites.> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch > [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of > Charles Annis, P.E. > Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 8:15 PM > To: 'Jonathan Baron'; r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: Re: [R] bookmarking a page inside r-project.org > > > You can do something similar with Microsoft's browser but it > isn't quite as > easy as Foxfire: > > Right-click on the frame and choose Properties.
