Code explanations :

The following instructions describe the meaning of the available parameters for this applet:

<APPLET code=colorbook.class width=490 height=270>

The applet tag identifies the location, class file name, and size of a Java applet. The first part of the tag code=colorbook.class identifies the name of the Java applet. The second and third part of the applet tag identifies the width and height of the applet (usually measured in screen pixels).

<PARAM NAME=regcode VALUE="">

Registration code (if you have it). In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased from us. You have to pay small amount of money and receive your registration code (regcode).

<PARAM NAME=info VALUE="Applet by Gokhan Dagli,coloringbook.tripod.com">

<PARAM NAME=picture VALUE="ppict.gif">

Design a graphic for coloring and save it in the same directory as the applet classes. This image must be a gif file and it has only two colors, white and black. (Please use two colors gif palette, don't use 256 color palette.

</applet>

The last part works like all other HTML tags and defines the end of the applet tag </applet>.

Getting Started

  • Place the class files (colorbook.class and palette.class) and an image in the directory containing the HTML document into which you want to insert the applet (or into a different directory, and add the correct CODEBASE= attribute).
  • Add the applet tag to your HTML document in the position you want colorbook to appear.
  • The info parameter in the third line must be included for the applet to run. It is case sensitive, and the number of spaces between words must be identical (entirely single-spaced). If you try to run the applet and you see the message "Warning! info parameter error", it denotes a problem with this parameter.
  • I don't prefer transparent gif , for use with Colorbook. Because ,sometimes, transparent gif images blink when you click on it. You can save transparent gif images with MS Paint. If you save transparent images with Adobe , you have a problem. Please test your images with Colorbook applet.

Troubleshooting & Support

  • Please send me any questions, requests or remarks you might have to: quickshare@excite.com
  • Confirmed compatibility with Netscape versions 3.01 to 4.5 and Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0 to 4.1 for Windows 95/98/NT4. Also compatible with Internet Explorer 4.5 for Macintosh. jdk 1.02
  • Usually the easiest way to customize the applet is cut and paste the applet tag information used in the sample and modify it to fit your web page.
    •
  • If you see a "class not found" message, this means what it says -- your browser can't find the .class files specified. This may mean a spelling or case mistake in the CODE= attribute, the wrong location in the CODEBASE= attribute, or that you've forgotten to copy the .class files (colorbook.class and palette.class) to the necessary directory.
  • The info parameter in the third line must be included for the applet to run. It is case sensitive, and the number of spaces between words must be identical (entirely single-spaced). If you try to run the applet and you see the message "Warning! info parameter error", it denotes a problem with this parameter.
  • Make sure that your <APPLET> tag, closing </APPLET> tag, and all <PARAM> tags have < and > brackets. Check that the value for every parameter is enclosed between " signs.
  • If you see a NullPointerException displayed in the browser status-bar, it's most likely to be caused by a mistake in an image-based parameter. Check that paths and names of images are correct.
  • Recently the two big browser names, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, have gone through some Java security paranoia. With certain browsers, any Java applet that tries to load an external file from your own system such as a sound, image or text file will be prevented from running. Many applets try to load sound or image files, in particular, and they certainly aren't a threat to your system's security!
  • If the applet runs, but you can't make it do what you want it to do, please take another look at the documentation.
