Place the class file (menuscroll2.class) into the directory contain your 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. 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 file 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 (menuscroll2.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.
