CHRISTMAS JAVA COUNTDOWN FROM FITZWEB Thank you for downloading the Christmas Countdown from FitzWeb. This java applet and others are available for FREE at www.fitzweb.com INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING AND USING THE COUNTDOWN You should have 3 files after unzipping the download: - Christmas1.class - christmas1.gif - christmas1.txt (this file) All you need to do is add an HTML tag (see example) to your web page and upload your page, the .class file, and the .gif file to the same directory on your web server, and you are good to go. Here is the applet tag for your web page: --------------------------------------------------------- NOTES: It is necessary for both the .class file and the .gif file to be in the same directory as the web page from which they are called, otherwise the applet will not work! No parameters are needed for this applet. The applet automatically changes the count at midnight. The applet displays the countdown based on the visitor's computer time, not that of the server. If a visitor complains that the countdown is wrong, they probably have the time set incorrectly on their computer. Do not alter the .gif file, or the applet may display weird results. If you alter the .class file, it won't work at all. The applet should work with any broswer (3.0 or better). Please don't write to me for help in writing your HTML page or uploading files to your site. If you don't know how to do these basic things, you probably shouldn't be starting with an applet. However, you can send comments or suggestions to: countdowns@fitzweb.com Enjoy, Fitz --------------------------------------------------------- LEGAL MUMBO-JUMBO: This Java applet is FREE for download and use on any and all web sites.
