XP Web Buttons - Bring an XP look-n-feel to your website navigation! With
XP Web Buttons you don't need to create separate graphics files for every mouse
event. Simply change the buttons type and color parameter to fit any XP theme.
XP Web Buttons are very flexible, allowing you to configure fonts, sounds, icons,
background, and alignment. The buttons support javascript calls, target frames,
multiple button types,
and they are very easy-to-use. Java source code is available.

How to Setup
- Place the .class file in the directory containing the HTML page into which
you want to insert the menu. You can place the class into a different directory
and correct the path in the CODEBASE= parameter, for example:
<applet Code=apMenu.class Codebase="different/directory/" Width=480 Height=31>
or
<applet Code=apMenu.class Codebase="http://yoursite.com/" Width=480 Height=31>
If you see a "class not found" message, this means what your browser can't find
the .class file specified. This may mean a spelling or Case seNSitiVe mistake
in the CODE= parameter, a wrong location in the CODEBASE, or that you've
forgotten to copy the .class file to the necessary directory.
- Cut and paste the applet tag used in the example (under "HTML source"
title) to your HTML page in a position you want the menu to appear.
- Modify menu parameters to fit your web site style and needs. The
common syntax for menu parameters is:
<param name="ParameterName" value="ParameterValue">
For more info about parameters see menu
parameters.
- Some examples use external resources for menu (images - gif and jpg
files; sounds - au files; txt files with menu items), so it's necessary to copy
these files to appropriate directories according paths used in the menu
parameters.
- To enable Javascript support see javascript tips and
javascript call example.
