What
Can Java Do?
Java Applets are
programs that can add special effects to your page, aid navigational menus,
alter images or just spruce up some text and more. Applets require files
that you have to upload to your server for them to show up.
Java Script is a scripting language you can add directly to your page coding.
There are no files to upload to your server. Javascript allows you to add
many extra features, functions and effects to your pages.
Samples of Java Script Drop Down Menus:
Menu 1
Menu 2

How
do I add a Lake Applet ?
Adding a Lake Applet to your site is very easy. There
are only 3 things you need to do.
1) Copy the code Below
2) Change the name and size of the graphic. More below.
3) Upload the Lake.class file, graphic used and the Html file you have
the code on.
<CENTER><TABLE
BORDER=4 >
<TR>
<TD><APPLET code="Lake" align="absmiddle"
WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="380"><PARAM
NAME="image" VALUE="scenery34appletpic.jpg"></APPLET></TD>
</TR> </TABLE></CENTER>
Here is what you need to know to change the applet for you to use this
on your site:
1) The exact WIDTH of the graphic you are using must be put in where I
have it in YELLOW
2) The exact HEIGHT (in GREEN) Must be 2x the hight of the original graphic
minus 20 pixels. My exact graphic size is 180 Wide and 150 Heigh. So I have the exact width marked in the coding and Double the Height - 20 pixels which is 300 -20=280. That seems to work perfectly but if there is any grey
showing....reduce the pixels more
3) Change the name of the graphic to your graphic name (In RED)
4 Get the Lake.class file Lake Class Here ( Right
click and save as )
Here is what the
Lake Applet looks like

What
Else Can Java Do?
Java Script and Applets can do anything your imagination
thinks of as long as some programmer has thought of it first and made it.
They can be used for drop down menus, floats and thousands of other things.
One important
thing to remember is that if you use more than two javas on one page, it
can crash the page.

Business sites.
