Goanna's Java Stuff

 

Featuring David Griffith's
Lake and Popmemu Java Applets
Java Examples

Java is becoming an ever increasing means of enhancing web pages.
Java is not browser specific and works on both Explorer and Netscape browsers. (Active -x only works on Explorer) Below are excellent example of java code.
To find info on Java just find a search engine and type Java... The list will be endless.
Also try Sun Corp. and the author of these applets , He has many more available from his site, and all authored by David. There is also an interesting article on how to make curved shores ect.. using the overlay function.. This works and looks good!!
Like the applets? Download them now.. Lake.zip  Popmenu.zip
Unzip files into directory's of their own and use your browser to view readme.htm. this explains the code for the lake applet. For popmenu extract and read popmenu.html code. Note it is very important to use capitals where indicated in the class name code of the applet. If they don't work.. check this first. eg PopBtn.class and PopMenu.class

If I can work it out...so can you!!



The Lake Applet

The above is a simple use of Lake, it can do much more. If you visit the applet authors site you will see many more application of the applet. Conversely this link takes you to the read me file that comes with the lake applet zip file, it has much of the information at David Griffith's site and as such is almost a mirror site, use the back button to return to this page!
click on the image with applet and it will return you to the my Home Page

 


Pop Menu Applet.

The above menu is the applet PopMenu. Try it.
you can insert own graphic as a button. A useful size is approx 20x20 pixels, Much bigger and problems may occur with clearance from the text. View my page Code.. Note the Non Breaking Space before text in text value label, this provides clearance from the graphic. Value right can be made Value bottom for vertical menus
