Applet Parameters

The below table lists the parameters available to the applet in configuring it:

To insert an image, place a $ sign in the place where you want it be. Then in the IMAGES parameter, specify a space separated list of image file names, in the order in which they appear in the text. Here's the tag for an example applet that will scroll image1.gif and image2.gif: `<APPLET CODE=ProScroll WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=26> <PARAM NAME=TEXT VALUE="$$"> <PARAM NAME=IMAGES VALUE="image1.gif image2.gif"> </APPLET>` If you want an actual # or $ symbol in the text, rather than a color change or an image, insert /# and /$. If you want a /, use //.
