apPopupGen Index - Preferences
& About
purpose:
Let you visit my website and do some application specific settings/actions.
options:
HTML
Basics
Pre/Post-applet
lines
This offers you the feature to generate full HTML pages by entering
the pre- and post-applet code.
In the left corner of the textboxes you will find a button which allows
you to load data from other HTML/TXT files.
Tip:
when using a cool tool like Dreamweaver I can only advise you to use
templates !
Note:
these basic HTML lines are used for the preview window as well !
If you don't plan to generate full pages the at least leave the minimum
here:
Pre-applet
HTML minimum:
Post-applet
HTML minimum:
Image
file basics
As usually
is the case, an imagefile is not located on your website as located
on your harddisk (at least in my situation).
This would implicate that each path of each imagefile I would have to
adjust manually.
Here we can let the computer do the work. 3 options are available:
- Use
filename only
The imagefile is then located (on your website or locally) in the
same directory as the final HTML file.
- Use
full path/filename
The imagefile location on your harddisk is identical (ie. you are
working on the server for example).
- Use
this default path
The imagefile are stored on a fixed location. Preferably use relative
paths to indicate the position (ie: ../sounds)
Tip:
when using multiple languages, or when you have a more complex website,
I can only urge you to use a seperate directory to store imagefile.
This way the imagefile can be used for both languages, your website
will be better organized and when using relative paths, local testing
will be easier.
Sound
file basics
As usually
is the case, an soundfile is not located on your website as located
on your harddisk (at least in my situation).
This would implicate that each path of each soundfile I would have to
adjust manually.
Here we can let the computer do the work. 3 options are available:
- Use
filename only
The soundfile is then located (on your website or locally) in the
same directory as the final HTML file.
- Use
full path/filename

working on the server for example).
- Use
this default path
The soundfile are stored on a fixed location. Preferably use relative
paths to indicate the position (ie: ../sounds)
Tip:
when using multiple languages, or when you have a more complex website,
I can only urge you to use a seperate directory to store soundfile.
This way the soundfile can be used for both languages, your website
will be better organized and when using relative paths, local testing
will be easier.
Applet
code
In HTML,
some additional and/or required parameters must be set before an applet
can run properly. Most of these can be set here:
- MAYSCRIPT
Allow the Java applet to run script if checked.
- Code
Which applet class should be used. Default value: apPopupMenu
- Archive
Which applet archive must be opened to find the applet class. Defult
value: apPopupMenu.jar
- Codebase
tag
Check this to use codebase. Note: the preview window will most likely
not work with this feature checked !
- Codebase
Relative or absolute path of the Java class or Java archive,
- Default
Hyperlink Target
This is an option kind of lost. Here you define the default target
for new menuitems or menu subitems.
This is usefull for those who work with frames.
