* 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.

To display an image, replace "Name" with "Name=IMG:Image.jpg" in the above formats. For example, an option like this:

{ Cows=IMG:cow.jpg,cows.html,left}

would display the image "cow.jpg" in the applet, "Cows" in the status bar and would link to the page "cows.html" in the frame called "left".

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.
