Description: Select an image that you
want to use for the effect and save it as a GIF or JPEG.
If you want to make a NavBar then place your buttons
vertically or horizontally next to each other in one
image. Now insert the applet tag into your html-document.
The easiest approach would be to cut and paste the applet
tags from one of the examples that came with this package
and then edit the parameters. Explanation of what the
parameters do is listed below. If you are using a
wysiwyg-editor (PageMill, DreamWeaver, etc..) then the
recommended approach is to select the applet from one of
the examples and "copy and paste" it to your
own file. You can now play with the parameters to
configure it to your liking. The fastest way of doing
this is by using a good wysiwyg-editor.
Applet
parameters
width, height |
These are the
standard applet tags describing the width
and height of the applet in pixels. |
image |
The filename
of the image to use. This is relative to
the html-document. |
dim |
This
describes how fast the water pans out. A
value of two pans out immediately while
at eight it takes a long time for the
water to settle. Defaults to five. |
dotsize |
This is the
size in pixels of the 'drops' to be
deployed in the water by the mouse. |
ndotsize |
This is the
size in pixels of the 'drops' to be
deployed in the water by the 'Noise'
feature. |
mouse |
One or zero.
Enables/disables the mouse-over effect.
Defaults to one. |
noise |
One or zero.
Enables/disables the static noise effect.
This causes static noise in the water
without user interaction. Defaults to
one. |
url |
The target
url when using the applet as a button or
NavBar. If using a NavBar then this value
is any number of target url's, separated
by a space character. Omit this if the
applet is not supposed to link to
anything. * Tip - You can issue a mailto:
command as you would in HTML, i.e.
mailto:boef@usa.net! * |
target |
This option
lets the user specify which frame to open
a target url in. If omitted, it targets
the default frame. |
orientation |
This is the
orientation of the NavBar. v for vertical
or h for horizontal. Case-sensitive. |
