Tips and hints.... How do I add a border to the applet? How do I use a background with an applet? How do I link to another page from the applet? This is a basic border and it is made using the table code. Just before the applet code is written, in your web page, add the following code: <table width="246" bordercolor="#CC3399" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="2"> <tr><td> Type in the applet code and right after the </applet> tag and on the same line add the closing tags for the table: </td></tr></table> Hint #1. Your applet will show a gray line at the bottom if the closing tags for the table are not on the same line as the closing </applet> tag. Hint #2. The border size can be changed, just type in a new number over 1. Zero gives no border. Hint #3 The color is changed by typing in a new Hex color value. A link to a Hex color chart is at the bottom of this page. You can also use some of the color names such as: "red" "pink" "yellow" "black" etc. Try some of these from the following table. More can also be found on the web. When putting this in your code the color name goes inside quotes e.g "red" antiquewhite aliceblue aquamarine blueviolet brown cadetblue chartreuse darkgray darkgreen darkmagenta darkorange darkorchid darkred lightsalmon Link to the Hex Color Values Another version for borders is adding a background to the table. Changes to the table code to add a background like this one is in red: <table width="246" bordercolor="#004080" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="10" border="2" background="cloudsm.gif" > <tr><td> Add the applet code and then on the same line to close the applet and the table, add: </applet> </tr></td></table> I used this background in this table, feel free to use it. Linking to another page... Place this extra line immediately after the beginning line of the applet code. Then add the rest of your code. You can also direct the link to an image in a folder on your server. eg value="images/pic.jpg" <param name="href" value="http://YOUR WEB SITE URL OR LINK.html"> When the applet is clicked it will take your visitor to your page or image that you have linked too.
