For example, code <APPLET align=baseline code=slidmenutrial.class codebase=java/class height=480 width=220> will be changed to <APPLET align=baseline code=slidmenutrial.class height=480 width=220> ("codebase=java/class" is lost ).

   A. Please delete the "align" attribute in the widget code before you switch to the visual mode;
   B. Please add the "codebase=" manually when you finish the page.
