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.

• name=TEXT value=???
  The value of this parameter is simply the text which will be typed into the display area. Multiple paragraphs should be separated by the pipe symbol, '|'. Paragraphs automatically have a line of space between them.
• name=TEXTFILE value=???
  This parameter may be used instead of the TEXT parameter above. It points the applet to a file on your local system which is read in then displayed. If the textfile is edited, the text in the applet will also change (see UPDATE, next). The default is that TEXT is used instead of this parameter.
• name=UPDATE value=#
  This parameter tells the applet how often to read in the TEXTFILE (above). The number value given is the number of minutes between checks. The default is 15 minutes.
• name=FONTNAME value=???
  This value is the font used in typing. The default is 'Courier'.
• name=FONTSIZE value=#
  This is, obviously, the size of the letters when typed. The default size is 12.
• name=MARGIN value=#
  This value is the number of pixels which are left blank on the right and left sides of the window. The default is one-tenth of the total applet width as a margin on each side.
• name=URL value=???
  This value should be a web address which will be jumped to if the display window is clicked. The default URL is this explanation page.
• name=PAUSE value=#
  This is the number of milliseconds waited between paragraphs (not lines). The default is 2000 (2 seconds).
• name=SPEED value=#
  This is the relative speed of typing. The value should be a non-negative number. The default SPEED is 100.
• name=BORDER value='in' or 'out'
  If a this parameter is defined, the window appears to be either slightly raised (out) or depressed (in) by the use of highlighting the edges. Highlight color is based on the BGCOLOR. The default is that no border is used.
• name=CYCLES value=# or 'infinite'
  This is the number of times the TEXT will be cycles thru before the typing ends. If 'infinite' is used as the value, the typing will go on forever. The default is 'infinite'.
• name=BGCOLOR value=#,#,#
  This value should be three decimal numbers, each between 0 and 255 inclusive. The result is used as the RGB color of the background of the display window. The default is 255,255,255 (white).
• name=TEXTCOLOR value=#,#,#
  This value should be three decimal numbers, each between 0 and 255 inclusive. The result is used as the RGB color of the text of the display window. The default is 0,0,0 (black).
• name=SOUNDS value=???
  This parameter specifies where you have put the accompanying sound files for the Typewriter2 applet. The files are available from ftp://xm.com/pub/incoming/cafe/sounds/. They are titled hit.au, cr.au, and ding.au The default is the directory where the applet resides.
• name=BACKGROUND value=???
  The value of this parameter specifies a path to an image which can be used as a background display. The default is that no image is used.
