3.2.1 Customize General Properties

To customize general properties of an applet sitemap, first press the General Properties button on the left panel of the Applet Generation Wizard ("Generate applet sitemap" dialog).

Customize Sitemap Location

Use the first drop list with caption "Show site map in" to choose where the applet is going to be displayed. Three options are available: Main Browser Window, Separate Window, and Frame.
The default selection is Separate Window.

Customize Link Target Frame

Use drop list with caption "Show link target in" to choose the link target frame. The drop list is enabled only when "Main Browser Window" is selected in the above section ("Customize Sitemap Location").  The default selection is "Self", which means that a link's content will be displayed in the same place where the link itself is displayed, i.e., the "Main Browser Window". Select "New Window" to display the content in a separate new browser window. 

Customize Target Frame Initial Content

If you select either "Separate Window" or "Frame" from the "Show site map in", you will need to provide a URL for the initial content to be displayed in the target frame the first time a sitemap comes up. The default URL is that of your web site's home page. You can replace it with any URL that you would like to use for the initial content. Use absolute URL such as "http://www.mycompany.com/products/blah.html"  instead of partial URL such as "products/blah.html".

This option is not applicable when the location of the applet is set to be "Main Browser Window".
