Workshop
Quiz
- Suppose you found a cool Java game on the Internet and the documentation with it says it's free for anyone to use. It says you need to give the applet two parameters: The "speed" should be between 1 and 100, and the "skill" should be between 1 and 5. The applet itself is named roadkill.class. Write the HTML to display it in a 400x200-pixel area in the middle of a Web page.
-
The ActiveX Label control displays some text in any orientation you choose. Write the HTML to insert the ActiveX control in a Web page, given the following information:
- The class ID is:
clsid:{99b42120-6ec7-11cf-a6c7-00aa00a47dd2} - Confine the display area to 300x300 pixels.
- Specify the following parameter values:
- Caption: "New and Exciting!"
- Angle: 45
- FontName: Arial Black
- FontSize: 18
- The class ID is:
Answers
-
<applet code="roadkill.class" width=400 height=200> <param name="speed" value=50 /> <param name="skill" value=2 /> </applet>
-
<object classid="clsid:99b42120-6ec7-11cf-a6c7-00aa00a47dd2" id="label" width=300 height=300> <param name="caption" value="new and exciting!" /> <param name="angle" value="45" /> <param name="fontname" value="arial black" /> <param name="fontsize" value="18" /> </object>
Exercise
- You'll find many more reusable applets and controls by visiting http://24hourhtmlcafe.com/hotlist.htm#developer and checking out the developer resources links. If you find one that actually adds enough value to your site from the visitor's perspective to be worth the install-and-initialize waiting time, try incorporating it into your pages.
