Installation and Configuration
Download the class file. Use the "Buy Now" button
above. Copy the above code (in bold) into your HTML
(note, not the content) of your web page, then copy the class
file into the same directory. You may wish to adjust
the WIDTH and/or HEIGHT to suit your web page, and the size of
menu you wish to display. You can customise your applet by changing the
following parameters (some of which are optional, i.e. can be omitted) :
forecolor
backcolor
insertcolor |
The
color of the text/lines, background and insert on the position pointer (arrow)
respectively. Default to black, white and orange if parameter is omitted. |
arrowtype
linetype
lineend |
Numeric value to signify which arrow
type, line ends and line type should be used. See below. |
| highlight |
Should the currently active /
pointed at menu option be highlighted ? true or false |
|
startpos |
Which menu option the pointer (arrow) is pointing at as a
default. No initial selection if parameter is omitted (no arrow will be
shown on the menu unless the user points at the menu). Can be useful for
indicating which page the user is currently on within your site (and, of course,
where they can go) |
| textspace |
The amount of space between each menu
option, defaults to 20 pixels if parameter is omitted |
| fontstyle |
Helvetica, TimesRoman or Courier.
Defaults to Helvetica if parameter is omitted |
| fon type
|
Plain, Bold, Italic. Defaults to Bold if parameter is omitted |
|
fontsize |
The size of the menu text.
Defaults to 11 if omitted |
| arrowpos |
"left" or "right", the side the
arrow should appear on |
|
menu_n |
A list of the menu option texts,
starting at 1 |
| url_n |
The URL to go to if the user
clicks on the menu option. Can also include an email
address (as above) |
|
target_n |
The target window to open the URL
in. Valid values of _top _self _parent or _blank (see below) |
|
tooltip_n |
Tooltip
to be displayed in the browsers status bar for the menu option being
pointed at. Optional. |
Note : ideally there should be one url_n and one target_n parameter for every menu_n parameter, as shown above, for example : <param name="menu_8" value="a
value">
<param name="url_8" value="www.this.com">
<param name="target_8" value="_blank"> Notes on color : the color values are hex values of RGB (red,
green, blue). A value of FF8844 means a red value of FF,
a green value of 88 and a blue value of 44. In decimal,
this hex converts to 256, 128 and 64. The standard
Windows Paint software can be useful for working out RGB
values for a color of your choice. Arrow, Line and Line End
