CoolMap
Written by Mark Qian (version F1.0)
-- AdWare --
CoolMap is running in Map Mode:
(You will eventually show your visitors the image map on your page in this mode)
CoolMap is running in Design Mode:
(You create your image map in this mode. In this mode, you use Coolmap to generate a HTML script
which calls itself in Map mode).
Description:
CoolMap is a Java applet which works as an image map.
It is COOL because it not only works as an image map but also comes
with a built-in design center which makes image map design and maintenance
visible. A sound will also be played when mouse is moved over a particular
hot area. The corresponding URL will be opened when clicking at a hot area.
Details about how to install it in your page is available in below.
NOTE: Both Adware (FREE) and shareware (NOT FREE) versions are
available. The parameters marked with (share) are only
available in shareware version.
You can now evaluate Adware version of CoolMap with full-feature during the period other than business hours.
That is, all the functions in the Adware are available at a period from 7:00PM - 7:00AM. You can use your own
parameters during that period. But during the period 7:00AM - 7:00PM, the caption and URL will be
replaced by author's infor and URL. If you like to use it as an Adware with limited parameters
instead of evaluate it's full-feature, you need to set parameter whatWare = Adware.
(The default of whatWare is evaluateShareware). If you like to have all these features available full-time,
you need to download the shareware version and register it to get the Registration Code to unzip the
shareware package.

that means that
- You may forget to rename the class files(see readme.txt fro instructions)
- You may rename class names to wrong names
- If it work locally but not in your server, you may use a wrong case for your resource files
(The file names are case sensitive). Or you did not set their file access attributes correctly.
