ImageButton Applet version 1.3
ImageButton is a tiny, fast loading Java applet that simulates a button. It can be used on a web page for navigation. By clicking on this button,you can open other pages. All you have to do is assign a gif image and the destination URL, and everything else is taken care of by the applet! If you want to customize, there is the option of assigning a sound, a second image (for the depressed state), image graying, different border width and even simple animation!!! Look at the examples below.
|
- simple button. - button with graying and sound - button with two images, animation and sound - same as above, but without animation - button with graying, two images, animation, sound and opens in new window |
| PARAMETER | VALUE |
| button_up - | the gif to be displayed on the button |
| button_down - | the gif to be displayed when the button is depressed |
| animate - | true or false. Assigning true will cause the applet to animate using the button_up and button_down images when the mouse is over it. |
| grayImage - | gray image or not. If assigned true, image will be grayed when the mouse is not over it. |
| url - | URL of the destination link. |
| status - | Text that will be displayed at the bottom in the status bar. |
| target - | Name of the frame in which the destination page is to be displayed. You can skip this of you are not using frames. |
| click_sound - | sound to play when button is clicked |
| border - | thickness of the border in pixels (default=1) |
What's new in this version:
- Virtually no flicker during transitions
- Faster loading.
- Support for simple animation
- Cannot use tranparent gifs
You must provide the button_up parameter. The rest are optional and have default values. Replace the WIDTH and HEIGHT in the APPLET tag by the width and the height of your icon.gif. Use a table if you want the appearance of a toolbar.
This applet is absolutely free.
