What really happens when you insert an applet is that all
the files corresponding to that applet ( such as vac, class, images and
sound files ) are copied from the catalog ( named after the applet ) to
the project catalog where your HTML-file is located. This is done to ensure
that the HTML file will be tested successfully and to facilitate internet
operations. IIf you have not yet renamed your HTML file, the VAC will create and use the catalog named "tempproj" under the same catalog as VAC. When you select SaveAs, VAC will copy the files in the catalog that you specify. Note that for security reasons, no files are erased in the catalog when you delete applets. The following image shows where in the HTML file you can insert applets:
Locations where you can insert an applet
Note that some HTML Editing Programs, such as Quicksite Developer's Edition,
do not close the "/BODY" tag at the end of a document. This
will lead to an error message when you try to insert an applet. You will
have to close the BODY tag. As a rule; you should only insert one continuously animated applet on a HTML page. If you have two or more of these animated applets, then they will "compete" for CPU-time and they will be slowed down. This does not apply to menu applets though. Menu applets leave the CPU alone, unless the user triggers an event. Usually, they can be inserted with other applets without problems. If you have inserted a commercial applet you must enter its configuration dialog and specify the hostname and filename. If not, the applet will NOT work. You can find more information about this in the Specifying Host & File Names chapter. |
