This effect contains the code by Gokhan Dagli, used under a licence. Before using this applet you must read the license agreement.
You can use the applet freely to enhance your web pages (commercial or non-commercial). However, I placed a status bar message that will appear when the applet is online on a site and regcode parameter isn't correct.
Registration Fee : $19USD Registration removes the status bar warning message. Please try it before you buy it. Buy it once, use the same regcode for new versions. You can buy the registration code using a credit card through Regnow secure servers. Click here.

Getting Started

  • Place the class file (hlinetyper2.class) into the directory containing the HTML document which you want to insert the applet (or into a different directory, and add the correct CODEBASE= attribute).
  • Paste the applet tag from the sample into your HTML file.
  • The info parameter must be included for the applet to run. It is case sensitive, and the number of spaces between words must be identical (entirely single-spaced). If you try to run the applet and you see the message "info parameter error", it denotes a problem with this parameter.
  • Java is case sensitive.
    •

Troubleshooting & Support

  • Please send any questions, requests or remarks you might have to: info@appletcollection.com
  • Usually the easiest way to customize the applet is copy and paste the applet tag information used in the sample and modify it to fit your web page.
    •
  • If you see a "class not found" message, this means what it says -- your browser can't find the .class files specified. This may mean a spelling or case mistake in the CODE= attribute, the wrong location in the CODEBASE= attribute, or that you've forgotten to copy the .class file (hlinetyper2.class) to the necessary directory.
  • Make sure that your <APPLET> tag, closing </APPLET> tag, and all <PARAM> tags have < and > brackets. Check that the value for every parameter is enclosed between " signs.
  • If the applet runs, but you can't make it do what you want it to do, please take another look at the documentation.
