Display a background tile

The menu Builder applet will display a background tile of any size. The image is tiled to seamlessly fill the area regardless of the original size. If a tile is not required this parameter can be left blank.

Display image #1

In its rested state Menu Builder displays image #1. If it is a transparent GIF file, it will be superimposed over the background color or tile. If a tile is not nominated, the applet background color will be seen behind a transparent GIF.

Swap to image #2 on MouseOver

Image #2 is shown on MouseOver and replaces image #1. If swap image is not needed leave the parameter blank.

Display a fixed text message on top

The text message is a button feature. The button title remains visible throughout the swap image processes. Color, font style, size and spacing can be edited in the parameters.

Play a sound on MouseOver

Menu Builder can be used to play AU sounds on MouseOver.

Displays a message in the status bar

On MouseOver a status message can be displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the visitor's browser window.

Link to a page or targeted frame on MouseClick

Here is where you insert the page to be called when the visitor clicks on the Menu Builder button. To navigate within framesets a frame name must be nominated also.

NOTE:

That applet backgrounds are cannot be made transparent. If using a transparent GIF that allows part of the background to be seen, the applet background color must be matched to that of the page.

The applet size must be set manually. It will not automatically adjust to the image size. Nor will the image adjust to fit the applet. Unless cropping is the desired effect, the images and the applet size must be matched carefully.
