Step 2
- Create the Data File
The Advanced
Typewriter Text Effect software reads all the messages to
be displayed from a Plain Text File. If you look at the applet
parameters from the previous section you will see that one
of them is,
<param
name="dataURL" value="data.txt">
Please
Note: File names are case sensitive ie. "data.txt"
is not the same as "Data.txt".
This specifies
the name and location of the data file. In this case the filename
is 'data.txt' and is to be found in the current directory
(ie. that of your web page).
The next
step is to add your messages to the data file in the sequence
you wish them to be displayed. Each message should be enclosed
between a beginning messages tag <MESSAGE> and an ending
</MESSAGE> tag. For example if you want the message
"This is the first message" to be displayed then
you would add,
<MESSAGE>
This is the first message
</MESSAGE>
A message
can also be multi-line by simply adding the message on different
lines, for example,
<MESSAGE>
This is the first message
this is message 2
and here is line 3
</MESSAGE>
In addition
you can certain properties of each message by adding special
tags (if these are not present then the default values are
used from the Applet PARAM tags). The following message has
all the possible properties set,
<MESSAGE>
<FONT Arial,N,12>
<URL http://www.jpowered.com/,jpowered>
<COLOR 0,0,255>
<PAUSE 2>
<ALIGN LEFT>
This is the first message
this is message 2
and here is line 3
</MESSAGE>
Each of
these has the following effect,
Font
This tag specifies the Font for this message
eg. <FONT Arial,N,12>
for further information on defining fonts click
here.
Color
Specifies the text color for this message
eg. <COLOR 0,0,255>
for further information on defining colors click
here.
Pause
Time
Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to pause the fading
effect when the message has reached it's color value.
e.g <PAUSE 2>
Alignment
Specifies whether the message is to be aligned to the left,
center or right.
eg. <ALIGN LEFT>
Valid values are "Left", "Right" or "Center".
URL
Link
Specifies the URL HyperLink to be executed when the visitor
clicks the message. This tag has 2 components seperated by
a comma. The first component is the URL of the page you wish
to link to and the second component is the target frame or
window you wish that page to be displayed in. If the target
element is not present then the page will be displayed in
the current browser window.
eg. <URL http://www.jpowered.com/,jpowered>
