* for these parameters, multiple
values can be seperated by commas and the first value will apply the nodes
of the tree at the top depth, the second to the 1st level submenus etc. See
the example code.
What about the
"menu" parameter ?
Like all javabase applets, the
menu options are specified using the following formats:
{Name} |
For an unlinked option
or tree node |
{Name,Link} |
For a link to be
opened in the same frame |
{Name,Link,Frame} |
For a link to be
opened in a different frame.
Frame can also be
"_new" for a new window, "_parent" for the frame's
parent, "_top" for the top frame or "_self" for
the applet's frame.
|
So, for example, to make a link
to altavista which opened in a frame called "main" the option would
look like:
{Altavista,http://www.altavista.com/,main}
To use submenus, simply add a space
to the beginning of the name of those options which you want to be indented
as shown in the example code above. Multiple
spaces can be used to make multiple levels of menu.
How can I register?
Commercial sites are required to
register. Other sites need not register, but their menus will show a link
to Javabase.
