Scrolling Text Applet Help File. The following is the complete listing of the possible parameters that may be used to configure this applet. If any of the parameters are not present within the APPLET tag in your HTML form then the Applet will assume the default value, as indicated in the right hand column. It is recommended that you look at the example HTML files provided in conjunction with the following table in order to understand fully how to use each parameter.     SIRtext Applet Parameters. Parameter Name Description Range of Values Typical Value Default Value if Parameter not present TITLE  The Tree Title  Text  This is the Main Title.  TITLEFONT The number of the Font  1 - 10  1  1 TITLECOLOR  Title text color number  1 - 10  1  1 BGCOLOR  Background color number  1 - 10  1  1 BORDERWIDTH  The width in pixels of the Border  1 - 30  1  0 BORDERCOLOR  Border color number  1 - 10  2  1 SCROLLSPEED  Speed at which the Applet will Scroll the Text.

Each line of text should be entered using a TEXTLINEn parameter, where n is the line number. So the first line will be entered with a parameter of TEXTLINE1, the second with TEXTLINE2 and so on up to a maximum line number which has been set by the MAXLINES parameter. (see above) This table should be viewed in conjunction with the example files in order to obtain a clearer understanding.
