Thanks for downloading ImageButton. You can look for the latest version at http://www.csee.usf.edu/~birla/programs/. Here is a template for the APPLET tag to get you started.
Note: There is a bug in Java that will not let you load this applet from your local drive. It has to be on a server. This problem will be fixed with the new version of IE and Netscape.
applet code="ImageButton.class" width=45 height=45
param name="button_up" value="cd.gif"
param name="button_down" value="cdd.gif"
param name="animate" value="true"
param name="grayImage" value="true"
param name="url" value="http://www.csee.usf.edu/~birla/"
param name="status" value="This is a demo button #5"
param name="target" value="_self"
param name="click_sound" value="piano.au"
param name="border" value="1"
/applet
If you copy and paste from here, do not forget to add the '<' at the beginning of the tags. I skipped them above so that it is displayed in the browser as plain text and not considered as HTML tags (which remain hidden!)
