DISCRIPTION OFF APPLET TAGS :

<APPLET CODE="UrlText.class" WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=50 >
The code atribute tells the browser only the name off the java program
So UrlText.class is the name off the java program.
It's default expeted to be in the same directory as the html file
This applet does not automaticly resize the applet.

NOTE : You can change the place where the class file is
by using the codebase attribute.
This is an optional atribute.
Example :
<applet codebase=http://www.blabla.com/blabladir/bladir/ code=someblabla.class height=100 width=100>
note : I've set all picture adresses relative to the class file adress.
For more info email me.

BUGS :
-1 Windows 95 and probably Windows NT will not display the correct cursor.
The will display an arrow in stead of pointing hand.
This is an error in the Windows Java API , and I can't do anything abouth this.

FAQ: 

JAVA.LANG.APPLETSECURITY EXCEPTION

Some applet will not work if started localy with 
an Explorer 3.01 3.02 and 4.0.
But they will work if started from the net.
Microsoft made a very rigid security ristriction on applets.
There where many complains abouth this restriction,
because it makes it impossible to test applets localy.
There where many complains abouth this restriction so 
microsoft made it possible to install 
another Java Virtual Machine on the Explorer.
http://www.microsoft.com/java/download/dl_vmsp2.htm

Note: that this download only works if you haven't start 
an applet.
So close the Ms Explorer and restart it and go to this url.

-------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL NOTE:
There is a commersial version of the picture Show available for US 25.--
This applet loads an image just before it is needed.
So it already starts displaying after the first image is loaded.
The NON-commercial version starts displaying after all the images are loaded.

So in the comercial version you can use as many pictures as you want.
And still it will start displaying them faster as the NON comercial version.
for more info email me.
