Floating Text
*************
by John Morris

1. Add the following html to the html
of the page on which you want Floating
Text to appear:
<applet name="FloatingText.class" width="200" height="60">
</applet>

*NOTE = you will have to adjust
the 'width' and 'height'
attributes of the applet tag to fit
your menu when you are done.

2. Customize the menu by adding param tags
between the <applet> and </applet> tags in
the folling form:
<param name="attribute name" value="attribute value">

The following is a list of attributes
with their possible values:

name			value
----			-----
text#			The text that will appear in the menu
			Replace '#' with the text line's numerical
			index (ie. start with text1 and go up)
background text		The text that will appear behind the text
			above
background color	any valid RGB color (ie. 0,0,0 = black)
background text color	"
foreground text color	"
background font name	Any valid font name (ie. "Verdana")
background font style	Any valid numeric font style
			( 0 = none
			  1 = bold
			  2 = italics
			  3 = bold + italics )
background font size	Any valid font size
foreground font name	Any valid font name (ie. "Verdana")
foreground font style	Any valid numeric font style
			( 0 = none
			  1 = bold
			  2 = italics
			  3 = bold + italics )
foreground font size	Any valid font size
speed			any number from 1 to 10,000
			(this represents the pause
			time in milliseconds)

*The easiest way to configure your
menu is to look at the tags in
the "float.htm" file included.

YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING TAG
EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS BELOW
FOR THE APPLET TO WORK:
<param name="author" value="John Morris - www.javaplayground.com">

3. Place "FloatingText.class" in
the same folder as the .html file
that you want to use Floating Text.
