putting a website onto CDROM

Does anyone have advice or know of the best way to burn a site to CD-Rom? I
searched online and found a lot of solutions, and programs, but all of them
are only Windows compatible. I need to make one, of one of my sites for a
client, but I want it to be Mac and Windows compatible.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,
Mark Johnson

Excuse me Mark,
HTML is 'cross platform' so I really don't understand what your concern is.

Where things get 'different' between PC's and Macs, is the 'auto run' files,
but you've avoided that with an HTML solution.

Test it for yourself. Whip up a simple HTML page and a few graphics. Ensure
the paths are 'relative' and not 'absolute'. Burn to rom. Test on a PC, then
on a Mac, then on Linux, and on.

I am pretty sure in Flash when you publish your movie you are left with a
".html" file(s) and a ".swf" file(s). I don't have a Mac present but do not see
a issue with sharing those files between both platforms. The only issue that
you may run into is backing up the raw data ( ".jpg", ".gif" and the raw flash
file ".fla"

Alot of Mac software will make 2 copies of pictures (ex. Photoshop for OS X),
one readable on Mac OS's and one readable for PC's. I'd create alll my artwork
on the Mac and burn the .jpg's (both copies) to disk so it is readable by both
platforms. I do not think it matters much on what platform you create and
published the final product with ( ".html" file and ".swf" files ) so you
should be able to back those up to cd also. I would follow this guide (link is
below) to ensure your cd's are readable by both platforms
