Using the Web Server
Each page that InterMapper serves contains the same controls at the
top. The example below shows an InterMapper map as it appears in a web
page.
A typical InterMapper web page. the "Example.com" National map.
The InterMapper web page typically has three parts:
- The header, which shows the map name or other
title, a navigation bar for going to other pages, and the Refresh menu. This is usually the same for every page.
- The content of the page, which varies, depending
on which page is selected.
- The footer of the page, which shows the time
the page was created.
InterMapper Web Page Navigation
Use the menu at the top of the InterMapper Web Page to access the available
features of the web page. The example above shows a web page for a particular
map. The image below shows the InterMapper Web Server menu, found at the
top of each page.

Note that the navigational links list different choices from a map's links.

Setting the Interval for Reloading the Web Page

keeps the web page's information up-to-date.
To set the Reload interval:

a reload interval.
- Click the Set button. The web browser
refreshes the page at the specified interval.
Customizing Web Pages
