Auscomp's 1st JAVA Navigator - Tab HTML applet parameters

Tab Applet Parameter Syntax
Below are the HTML code parameters (and their respective descriptions) for those who wish to: Construct the HTML code manually. Dynamically generate the code from a database (eg: ASP, IIS and ODBC etc).

Note	As a sophisticated Commander (wizard or management tool) is provided, these two methods are offered as optional extras for those with some experience with HTML coding. Auscomp therefore regrets that it is unable to offer support relating to either.

The following class files must be uploaded with the HTML files to your server:
File Name	Location on Server
JAVATab2.class	Into the SAME directory as this HTML file
Beans.class	ROOT
BaseTabbedPanel.class	ROOT
ButtonBase.class	ROOT
DirectionButton.class	ROOT
TabPanel.class	ROOT
Timer.class	ROOT

Re-locating the class files

In order to re-locate the class files into a different directory as the HTML file, just use the CODEBASE Tag:

EG:
<APPLET CODEBASE="/JCLASS" CODE="JAVATab.class" Width=245 Height=320>

Note

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If the class files are re-located, the relative URL will now point to the OLD class file directory. Therefore, the links will also have to be adjusted accordingly:

EG: Normally:
<APPLET CODEBASE="." CODE="JAVATab.class" Width="216" Height="259">

The HREF = myfile.htm

Then, if it is re-located to the JTab JTab directory for example:
<APPLET CODEBASE="JTab" CODE="JAVATab.class" Width="216" Height="259">

The HREF = .../myfile.htm
