lvbox applet 1.7 - by Cromoteca
lvbox displays a sequence of images and text applying transition effects between them. Any slide can be an image or a text, and can have an associated link. Text and image names can be set by using parameters or by writing a text file like this. Using a text file allows to edit the contents very easily, so this is highly recommended, since it allows to share the contents between different pages.
This is an example:
You can configure these parameters:
| Parameter Name | Default Value | Short Description |
| DataFile | (none) | The name of the text file containing the contents of the slides. Look at the example. You MUST put a blank line between two slides. Format is text (or image name) + separator + URL to link + separator + target + separator + effect number (0 to 21) You can put the text on multiple lines: line breaks will be replaced by spaces. URL, target and effect number can be omitted (effect number will be random) |
| News# | (none) | The contents of the slides if a data file is not specified. The format is the same described above. You can specify any number of slides, naming them news1, news2, news3... |
| Link | (none) | The default URL to be shown when the users clicks over the applet |
| Target | _self | Default destination frame for the links. This can avoid specifying the same name in every link |
| Separator | , | A character used as separator for parameters that specify multiple characteristics (e.g. Font) |
| Font | Dialog,0,12 | Text font. The format is: type + separator + style + separator + size where type can be "Courier", "Dialog", "Helvetica" or "TimesRoman"; style can be "0" (Normal), "1" (Italic), "2" (Bold) or "3" (BoldItalic); size is an integer |
| Background1 | 000000 | Background color. The format is "RRGGBB" (similar to HTML) |
| Background2 | the value of background1 | Border color used for mouseover effect. The format is "RRGGBB" (similar to HTML) |
| Foreground | FFFFFF | Text color |
| EffectDuration | 1000 | Time required perform a transition effect (in milliseconds) |
| PauseDuration | 3000 | Pause before changing slide (in milliseconds). Pause can be longer if the next slide is an image, due to loading time |
| HandCursor | Yes | Uses the hand-shaped cursor over the links or not. The value can be "Yes" or "No" |
| SleepTime | 10 | Short pause between the animation frames (in milliseconds). Usually unmodified. |
| Text | Click here for news | Default text when no other information to display has been found |
| TextAlign | 0 | Type of text alignment: 0 is left aligned, 1 centered, 2 right aligned, 3 justified |
| TextMargin | 2 | Margin of text from the border of the box (in pixels) |
| Credits | (none) | Please set it to "applet by www.cromoteca.com" as a credit for the author. Thank you! (This is required if you use this applet on the web, otherwise it won't work) |
Note: the names of their parameters and their values are case-insensitive, with the exception of the font names ("Courier", "Dialog", "Helvetica" and "TimesRoman") and of the Credits value.
