is it php or asp?
if it's plain old html stuff then you can create an autorun.inf file and fire up the default html document

did you get it to autorun on Mac?

It was only needed for a one off presentation on a pc so mac wasn't required.

The client now wants the website to autorun from cd in a browser window with no toolbars, address bar etc - anyone done this?

I had to do this once.
You need an executable file that will launch internet explorer and call the location of the index page of the website on the CD. So, your auto run will actually launch the exe file. If I can find my old files I'll post a link.

I can't find the actual file I used but one way to do it would be to use Flash to create an executable. Use one frame on the timeline and write something like this:
getURL ("your file name");
fscommand("quit")and that should launch the file in the default browser and close the flash movie.

I love the irony: "novolume" in all caps
