BinderBaby Website

Welcome to the BinderBaby website. A BinderBaby is the baby version of a BinderBook, a notebook interface for web-based educational materials. BinderBabies require Navigator 4+ or Explorer 4+ to work. [Note added March 5, 2001: Sigh! to nobody's surprise, the javascript in latest versions of the browsers doesn't seem to open BinderBabies correctly.]

Here's a sample BinderBaby (warning: a new window will open) and instructions on how to navigate it. If you'd like to make your own BinderBabies, you can download the necessary files and follow the instructions. You can also find out more about the "grown-up" Binder project.

The BinderBaby interface should now work with both Navigator and Explorer versions 4 on both Windows and Mac systems (thanks to super-programmer Erick Wong for making it so) and has also been tested to a limited extent on UNIX. The interface is still wonky in places, in particular, there are problems with Navigator when resizing windows that have to do with caching: for optimal performance set Navigator's cache preferences to check for a new page once per session, and set the cache size to 7 MG or more. If you've done this and there are still problems with resizing, please let me know - in fact, please let me know of anything that doesn't work, or doesn't work as expected.
