Getting Started Place the class file (billboard.class) and images 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 billboard to appear. The info parameter 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 "info parameter error", it denotes a problem with this parameter. Troubleshooting & Support Please send me any questions, requests or remarks you might have to: quickshare@excite.com 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 file (billboard.class) to the necessary directory. 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. If the applet runs, but you can't make it do what you want it to do, please take another look at the documentation.
