Congratulations, and thank you for purchasing PageCharmer Designer
Applets. PageCharmer is a set of customizable, interactive Java applets designed
to enhance your Web pages. Whether your Web site is already up and running or
you're designing one now, PageCharmer gives you the power to make it stand out from
the crowd with personalized applets that can fit most any need.
With millions of display combinations that can be set with point-and-click
ease, PageCharmer Designer Applets provide a truly unique style. PageCharmer gives
you the ability to add live text and graphic marquees with animated frames.
And live multi-media buttons that highlight and play sounds when clicked.
Plus live image maps with user-defined "live areas" that stay highlighted
during their selection with PageCharmer's "Tab Mode". Plus, optional pop-up
menus that animate when a cursor rolls over them. Finally, live scrolling
text and graphic tickers with complete speed, style, and message control.
You can only do so much with HTML and a few GIF images. Soon everyone
comes to the point where they say, "If I could only make my Web pages dynamic!"Until now, going beyond the usual "me too" Web site meant hiring a programmer.
With PageCharmer, you now have the ability to give your Web site the level of power
and sophistication it deserves.
Using the real-time AppletSet'r controller, each designer applet can be
configured into millions of different configurations. PageCharmer's unique AppletSet'r
capability gives you the ultimate control over Java applets. With just a few clicks,
your Web site is sure to look unique and personal.
The AppletSet'r gives your Java applets an interface and it gives you
the power to control them. Using the AppletSet'r, you simply select the properties
of the applet using the AppletSet'r pop-up controls, right from your browser's window.
See the effects of your selections in real-time as your applet runs immediately.
What you see is what you get!
Whether you're using Macintosh®, Windows®, or UNIX®, you can
use PageCharmer applets to enhance your Web site. And, because the applets are pure
Java-based code, your enhanced Web pages will be viewable by Netscape Navigator®,
Microsoft Internet Explorer®, and other browsers, on all platforms!
Let PageCharmer applets be your ultimate weapon in the battle for Web
traffic. It's commonly known that the most heavily visited Web sites are those sites
that are dynamic and responsive. PageCharmer applets give you the ability to get
noticed and give your site an edge over all the "me too" Web sites. Your
site will feel and act more responsive than the plain-Jane Web sites of the world.
It will literally come alive with a dynamic, interactive feel.
System Requirements: Any platform (Windows 95, Macintosh, Unix, etc.), Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later, Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later. Important note: Windows 3.1 and earlier versions of Windows are not compatible with PageCharmer.
PageCharmer includes three different types of designer buttons:
LiveG-Button: Give your Web page animated
graphic based navigational buttons. Each user-defined button has a "Static" state, a "Rollover" state that is displayed when a cursor rolls over the
button, and a "Clicked" state. Plus, a user-defined message can be displayed
at the bottom of most browser windows.
LiveT-Button: Create text based navigational
buttons by simply typing in a word or phrase. The text string becomes a rectangular
shaped button with unique properties for the "Static", "Rollover" and "Clicked" states. Plus, a user-defined message can be displayed at
the bottom of most browser windows.
LiveGT-Button: Create text and graphic based
navigational buttons using a graphic, overlayed with a word or phrase. Complete "Rollover" and "Clicked" sound control is available. Plus, a user-defined message
can be displayed at the bottom of most browser windows.
PageCharmer includes two different types of designer marquees:
LiveG-Marquee: Create multiple scrolling
graphical messages in any size. Each message can have a unique entrance and exit
effect and variable speed control. The messages move in a foreground layer (in any
direction), while images (colors, textures, etc.) move or display in the background.
Plus, a user-defined message can be displayed at the bottom of most browser windows.
LiveT-Marquee: A text message marquee with
millions of possible configurations! Enter as many different text messages as you
like, then set the text style, color display effect, and speed of each message. The
marquee's size and frame are also user selectable with a click of the mouse. Special
effects can be introduced with animated frames. Plus, a user-defined message can
be displayed at the bottom of most browser windows.
PageCharmer includes two different types of designer tickers:
LiveG-Ticker: Create a scrolling graphical
ticker with foreground and background images. Each layer can be moving or static.
Plus, a user-defined message can be displayed at the bottom of most browser windows.
LiveT-Ticker: How about a scrolling text ticker
that displays a customized message of any length? Font, size, style, color, message
speed, and background images can be customized to fit your needs. Plus, a user-defined
message can be displayed at the bottom of most browser windows.
PageCharmer includes two different types of designer image maps:
LiveG-Map: Create an image map from any
graphic, for multiple interactive links. Each user-defined area can have a "Static" state, a "Rollover" state that is displayed when a cursor rolls over it
and a "Clicked" state. "Rollover" and "Clicked" sound
options are available. A pop-up menu can also be defined for each "live area".
The "Tab Mode" allows each live area to remain highlighted during selection.
Plus, a user-defined message can be displayed at the bottom of most browser windows.
LiveT-Map: When you want multiple buttons,
create a text based image map. Each text string becomes a rectangular shaped button
with unique properties for "Rollover" and "Clicked" states. The
"Tab Mode" allows each hot spot to remain highlighted during selection.
Plus, a user-defined message can be displayed at the bottom of most browser windows.
Before continuing, make sure to have the following:
Next, open the file named "PageCharmer.html" in your browser,
and follow the instructions--or simply click here
to do it now). This page will verify that you have Java turned "on" in
your browser. There is a red button that appears only if Java is turned on. Once
you see the button, go ahead and click it. This button takes you to the PageCharmer
Index page. Do just as it says, "Bookmark this page now" or set it as one
of your Favorites.
Every time you want to design a new applet, simply come back to the PageCharmer
Index page and choose the applet type you wish to create by clicking on its name.
When the particular page appears you will see an active applet and its corresponding
AppletSet'r ready for your design.
We suggest that you read through the rest of the User Guide. It is organized
in three primary sections. The first covers "Step
by Step Instructions". The second section covers "Common
AppletSet'r Properties", and "Unique Appletset'r
Properties". Finally, there are detailed descriptions covering: organizing
your site, How-To's, creating images and sounds, trouble shooting, and a glossary
of terms and much more. If you need additional technical support, I.R.I.S. can be
