How the footing section is chosen

The footing section is chosen from among the HTML pages, based on their ending positions and the sequence in which they were created.

  1. The pages which have an ending position closest to the last row of the screen are selected.
  2. If more than one page remains in the selection process, the ending position of the remaining pages is compared again. This time, the pages that have an ending position closest to the last column of the screen are selected.
  3. Finally, if more than one page remains, the latest page generated is selected.
The footing section from the remaining selected page is used in the HTML page that is sent to the web client.
Note:
  • The ending position of an HTML page generated from a BMS map is the row and column of the lower-right corner of the map.
  • The ending position of an HTML page generated from a non-BMS command is the lower-right corner of the screen.
