Setup
- Place the .jar file in the directory containing the HTML document into
which you want to insert the applet (or into a different directory, and add the
correct CODEBASE= attribute). It's not necessary to have .class file if you have
.jar - see FAQ.
- Add the applet tag to your HTML document in the position you want menu
to appear. Usually the easiest way to customize the applet is cut and paste the
applet tag information used in the examples
and modify it to fit your web page.
If you see a "class
not found" message, this means what your browser can't find the
.jar file specified. This may mean a spelling or Case seNSitiVe mistake in the
CODE= or ARCHIVE= attribute, the wrong location in the CODEBASE= attribute, or
that you've forgotten to copy the .jar file to the necessary directory.
- To add frame support edit "menuItems" parameter as shown: {ItemText,ItemLink,Frame}.
So {Home,home.htm,left} would display "Home" and make the frame called
"left" go to "home.htm" on clicking. See also frame example.
- To enable Javascript support see javascript tips and
javascript call example.
