Description
Here's everything Web authors need to add Java applets to their Web pages without writing code -- including over 75 up-to-date sample applets, audio, animations, image maps, ticker tapes, and much more. This new third edition is updated with new applets and information. All applets are now self-configuring through the Java Plug-In for Web browsers; BeanizedTM, and updated for the new Java Event Handler. You'll find extensive practical examples of how these prefabricated applets can be used, parameters that maximize their flexibility, and clear installation instructions. The applets run on Netscape 4.06 (and higher) and Internet Explorer 4.0x -- and support UNIX and Windows 95/NT.
