Hi, Welcome to my Java page. I'm starting it out with one Applet: framesMenu...
It's designed for use within HTML Frames, but can also be used without a Frame in a table.
There are two parts to it: a menu selector
that can use either text links or thumbnail images for links
(If you don't want to make thumbnails then try autoFramesMenu.
It will make the thumbnails for you.)
and the second part is the picture viewer...
The viewer will also accept URL links for relocation,
or can be used as a picture viewer alone with no relocation...
If you use thumbnails, they do not have to be the same size,
but the heights of each on a page have to be the same.

To see it in action, click here.

It also works without Frames.
I suggest using tables to hold the applets if you do not want to use Frames.
Click here... for an example of non-Frames.

It's also in use in the Poetry Showcases of the Card Site... But, a warning...
the poetry sections have very large graphic files and they take some time to load.
(They are worth the wait though...)
For the Card Site, click here

This applet is free for non-commercial use,
but comes with an advertisement.
The ad can be removed for $30.00 (U.S. Currency). The cost for commercial use is $30.00 (U.S. Currency).

To download the self-extracting executable, click here.


The file name is: framesmenu.exe
The file will automatically unpack to C:\FRAMESMENU\
(Change the destination if you want to put it someplace else.)
There you will find instructions for use and sample HTML pages.
Frames1.html is the entry into the pages. It calls two other html pages to build the viewable frame enhanced page. The pages are completely functional for demonstration and reference.

If you want to remove the advertisement you can pay by credit card at PayPal,


Or, send a check or money order to:

This is a sample html applet code for the menu side of the Applet.

< applet code="frameMenu.class" width=125 height=250 >
< param name=menuSetup value="1|125|000000|FFFFFF|888888" >
< param name=image1 value="pics/bberry1.jpg|pics/bberry1.gif|null" >
< param name=image2 value="pics/boats1.jpg|pics/boats1.gif|null" >
< param name=image3 value="pics/cactus2.jpg|pics/cactus2.gif|null" >
< param name=image4 value="pics/cats2a.jpg|pics/cats2a.gif|null" >
< /applet >

Parameter menuSetup is the applet setup information. All parameters use | as a divider.
menuSetup is divided as follows:
thumbnail(1) / text(0) | applet window width | background color | Font Color | Divider Line Color


Parameter image must be numbered 1,2,3,4,etc...
image(number) is divided as follows:
Name & location of image file | Name & location of thumbnail file(thumbnail) / Image Name(text) | URL to send to / null if none
This Applet can be used as a picture viewer with no link by putting null in the parameter of the menu side for URL.

Divider is: |


This is a sample html applet code for the picture viewer side of the Applet.
