This effect contains the code by Gokhan Dagli, used under a licence. Before using this applet you must read the license agreement.
You can use the applet freely to enhance your web pages (commerical or non-commerical). However, I placed a status bar message that will appear when the applet is online on a site and regcode parameter isn't correct.
Registration Cost : 19USD You can buy it when finished testing (try before you buy). Buy it once, use same regcode for new versions! You have to pay small amount of money and receive your registration codes (regcodes). You can buy the registration code using a credit card through Regsoft secure servers. Click here!



Headline Typer's parameters are explained below : The following instructions describe the meaning of the available parameters for this applet:


ParametersValue
<applet code="hlinetyper.class" width=290 height=135>The applet tag identifies the location, class file name, and size of a Java applet. The first part of the tag code=hlinetyper.class, identifies the name of the Java applet. The second and third part of the applet tag identifies the width and height of the applet (usually measured in screen pixels).
<param name="regcode" value="">Registration code (if you have it). In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased from us. You have to pay small amount of money and receive your registration code (regcode). Click here for buying regcode.
<param name="info" value="Applet by Gokhan Dagli,www.geocities.com/japplets/">Information about the Headline Typer Java applet.
<param name=type_delay value="20">This is the delay in milliseconds between redraws. In other words it represents the speed of the type. To make your animation more fluid you should decrease the time Typically 5:minimum, 80:maximum ,
10-40 :good.
<param name=scroll_delay value="8">This is the delay in milliseconds between redraws. In other words it represents the speed of the scroll. ( Typically 5:minimum, 100:maximum , 5-50 :good).
<param name="target_frame" value="_self">Target frame. Sometimes you want the URL to be opened in a particular frame or in a completly different window. Use this parameter to specify the destination of the URL to open.
<param name="titleN" value=" ">Title. (N =1,2,3...). You must start at 1 and increase by 1 at each time. Use "#" for jumping next line. Use "&nbsp;" for extra space.
<param name="title_fontN" value="Helvetica,1,16,6">"Font type, font style, font size, yspace"
This will specify the font name, font type, font size and yspace (Extra space between text lines.) used to display the title.

You may choose from among many fonts. For example Arial, Helvetica, Courier and TimesRoman. It is case sensitive.
For font style, use 0 for PLAIN, 1 for BOLD, 2 for ITALIC or 3 for ITALIC BOLD to set the style of the display.

"ysapace" is the extra space between text lines.

Examples:
"TimesRoman,3,22,10"
"Courier,0,20,0"
"Arial,2,14,0"
<param name="textN" value=" ">Message body. (N =1,2,3...,number of message). You must start at 1 and increase by 1 at each time. The text message to show. Use "#" for jumping next line. Use "&nbsp;" for extra space.

Getting Started

  • Place the class file (hlinetyper.class) in the directory containing the HTML document into which you want to insert the applet (or into a different directory, and add the correct CODEBASE= attribute).
  • Add the applet tag to your HTML document in the position you want Headline Typer Java applet to appear.
  • The info parameter must be included for the applet to run. It is case sensitive, and the number of spaces between words must be identical (entirely single-spaced). If you try to run the applet and you see the message "info parameter error", it denotes a problem with this parameter.
  • Java is case sensitive.
    •

Troubleshooting & Support

  • Please send me any questions, requests or remarks you might have to: quickshare@excite.com
  • Usually the easiest way to customize the applet is cut and paste the applet tag information used in the sample and modify it to fit your web page.
    •
  • If you see a "class not found" message, this means what it says -- your browser can't find the .class files specified. You've forgotten to copy the .class file (hlinetyper.class) to the necessary directory.
  • Make sure that your <APPLET> tag, closing </APPLET> tag, and all <PARAM> tags have < and > brackets. Check that the value for every parameter is enclosed between " signs.
  • If you see a NullPointerException displayed in the browser status-bar, it's most likely to be caused by a mistake in an parameter. Check it.
  • If the applet runs, but you can't make it do what you want it to do, please take another look at the documentation.
