	Target frame 1 The target frame in which the first Link URL will be opened. Page Default = (none) Same Frame = ( _self) Whole Window = ( _top) New Window = ( _blank) Parent Frame = ( _parent) Alternatively, choose your own name (eg: MyFrame)

Example

Splitting the window into 2 frames using the following HTML code:
<frameset framespacing="0" frameborder="0" border="0" cols="245,*">
<frame src="MyContent.htm" name="ContentFrame">
<frame src="MyMain.htm" name="MyFrame"></frameset>

This means:
The left frame is named: "ContentFrame".
It will show the HTML file: "MyContent.htm" and include the selected applet.
The right frame is named: "MyFrame".
It will show the HTML file: "MyMain.htm".

Note

If further explanation of the terminology above is required, please refer to the documentation that comes with your HTML editor about frames.

Target frame 2
The target frame in which the second Link URL will be opened.


Default tab (Starting tab)
	Use this dropdown box to select the default tab, which is the selected Tab when the applet first opens. When a choice is made here, the chosen Tab will open when the applet opens and any links associated with this Tab will be executed. If this box is left blank, the first Tab will open when the applet opens and no URL link will be executed.

JavaScript

Executing a JavaScript from the 1st JAVA Navigator will only work with Netscape's Browser 3x or later.

This is because they support the required "MAYSCRIPT" tag which permits the applet to access JavaScript:

eg: <APPLET CODEBASE="JCLASS" CODE="JAVATab.class" Width="215" Height="300" MAYSCRIPT>


Note	This attribute (above) was included in Microsoft's 11th August 1997 document for MS IE 4.0 - but not in the one for 9th December 1997.

Note	JavaScript is a TOTALLY different technology to Java Applets. Because different browser's have different support capabilities for JavaScript, Auscomp is NOT able to provide support the use of JavaScript when it is used in combination with their Java Applets (1st JAVA Navigator).
