Hi energetic bee, If I understand you question correctly, you could: Create new Custom HTML screens through the buzztouch control panel. Or Create new HTML files through another program or by manually editing a text file, and adding those files to your project folder. These file could them be linked to with anchor tags from your first HTML page.

Any by page, do you mean screen? Because you can have it go longer than one screen worth of information. The only reason to create another page is if the information doesn't make sense to include in a single page.

Thank you so much, Parker and GoNorthwest for the replies. I am a very new bee, I was editing the html file, the contents I have written in the html file are very long, Yes, northwest you are right, I was worried it will fit in one page. Will it naturally created 2nd page if it can not fit in one page? or do I have to manually define a 2nd page. Thanks a lot

Hi @bee! The great thing about an HTML page is that it can go on pretty much for as long as you wish. However...if you don't want the user to have to scroll and scroll and scroll, you could break it up into multiple pages. It's pretty easy to do. Let's say you break it into two pages...page1.html and page2.html. You would load the first page in your app screen by configuring that screen to load that page. Then, at the bottom of Page 1, you could put a link (button, text, whatever) to Page 2 using a standard link like <a href=page2.html>Page2</a>. (Note : there are quotes around the word page2.html, but this forum strips them out). Then when the person touches that link, the second page is loaded in the screen. In this instance, both HTML documents, page1.html and page2.html would need to be placed in you BT_Docs folder. Hope this helps! If you have other questions, let us know! Mark
