Erklärungen

The param tags are the lines which customize the applet to your needs. Following is a list of all the parameter options which are currently available. Note that the 'name=' of the parameter as typed into the HTML document SHOULD BE CAPTILIZED... it is not necessary to capitalize the 'value' attributes. Defaults (where described) indicate what appropriate values will be used if not explicitly given in the HTML document.

1. ALIGN
2. BACKGROUND
3. BGCOLOR
4. BORDER
5. CHARACTERS
6. FONTSIZE
7. FONTSTYLE
8. MESSAGE
9. MESSAGEORDER
10. RATE
11. RUNORDER
12. SOLVECOUNT
13. SOLVEORDER
14. SOLVERATE
15. SOUND
16. TARGET
17. TEXTCOLOR
18. URL
19. VALIGN

• name=ALIGN value=left, right, center
  The value of this parameter indicates the alignment of the MESSAGE within the applet area. The default is 'center'.
• name=BACKGROUND value=???
  The value of this parameter points to an image over which the MESSAGE will be written. The default is that no image appears.
• name=BGCOLOR value=#,#,#
  The value of this parameter should be three numbers (0-255) separated by commas. The numbers represent the RGB value of the background of the applet (assuming that no BACKGROUND image is used). The default is '192,192,192' (light gray).
• name=BORDER value=in, out
  Used to make the applet area appear raised or lowered ('out' or 'in'). Note that using 'in' may skew the BGCOLOR... experimenting may be necessary. The default is that the area is neither 'in' nor 'out'.
• name=CHARACTERS value=???
  This is a list of characters from which the applet will choose random characters when running. The default is '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.
• name=FONTSIZE value=#
  Self-explanatory. Note that the font is forced to be "Courier" (to keep fixed width); it's style is set with FONTSTYLE. The default size is '14'.
• name=FONTSTYLE value=plain, bold, italic
  Self-explanatory. Note that the font is forced to be "Courier" (to keep fixed width), and it's size is set by FONTSIZE. The default size is 'bold'.
• name=MESSAGE value=???
  This value lists the messages which will be generated. Note that multiple messages may be separated with a '|' delimiter. The order through which the messages are run is determined by the MESSAGEORDER. Within a particular message multiple lines may be indicated using the backslash '\' character as a 'new line' indicator. The default is 'the RandomText applet\http://www.xm.com/cafe/RandomText/'.
• name=MESSAGEORDER value=forward, random
  This value indicates in what order the multiple messages will be run. 'forward' means that the first message will be generated, then the second (as delimited by the '|' symbols in MESSAGE), and so on. 'random' means that the messages will not be played in any particular order. The default is 'random'.
• name=RATE value=#
  This value indicates how long (in milliseconds) the applet should pause between random character generation. The default rate is '1000'.
• name=RUNORDER value=???|???|...|???
  This is the trickiest parameter. The value should consist of a list of commands separated by pipe '|' delimiters. Valid commands include:
  • run: This causes the applet to run through the 'random generation process' once.
  • clear: This clears the applet of its text after a run.
  • wait(#): This causes the applet to pause for # milliseconds before advancing to the next command.
  • suspend: This causes the applet to suspend itself until 'triggered' by another applet (see trigger(???)).
  • trigger(???): This causes the applet to trigger another applet on the same page which has been suspended (see suspend(???)). The '???' is the name of applet to be triggered. Applets within an HTML document are named by using the name= attribute within the &lapplet> tag (along with width, height, code, etc...) For example, on this page the top-most applet is named 'one' while the second is named 'two'. Applet 'two' immediately suspends itself but is triggered after Applet 'one' runs itself once... then uses trigger(two).
  • loopback(#): This causes the applet to jump back in its list of commands to the command numbered # (the first listed command is 1, then 2, etc...)
  • show(???): This causes the applet to show a new HTML document in the browser. ??? is the document's URL address. If you wish to target a partcular frame, separate the URL and frame_name with a comma. For example: show(http://www.yahoo.com, frame_name)

  The default is simply 'run' (which means that the applet will run once then stop).

• name=SOLVECOUNT value=#
  This value indicates how many letters are correctly found at each incremental step as determined by SOLVERATE. The default is '1'.
• name=SOLVEORDER value=forward, backward, random
  This value indicates in what order the final message will be generated. 'forward' means that the first character of the message will be found, then the second, and so on. 'backward' starts from the end of the message. 'random' means that the characters will not be found in any particular order. The default is 'random'.
• name=SOLVERATE value=#
  This value indicates how many random steps are taken to find the next correct letter (or letters is SOLVECOUNT is greater than 1). A '1' means that correct characters are found each time a new random string is generated. The default is '2'.
• name=SOUND value=???
  This value points to a sound file which is played with every random step. The default is that no sound is used.
• name=TARGET value=???
  Used in conjunction with URL, this value indicates a particular Netscape frame into which the new document at URL's address will be shown. The default is that the document will replace the current one (i.e. no frames).
• name=TEXTCOLOR value=#,#,#
  Similar to BGCOLOR except that these numbers represent the RGB values of the text, not the background. The default is '0,0,0' (black).
• name=URL value=???
  This is the destination link if the applet is clicked on. The default is this explanation page.
• name=VALIGN value=top, bottom, center
  The value of this parameter indicates the vertical alignment of the MESSAGE within the applet area. The default is 'top'.
