apImageMenu Applet
| apImageMenu allows you to create menus of any style you want. You can use both the 3-state images for each menu item and the combinations of an image, text and tiled background. The applet supports colors, fonts, text/image alignment, target frames, javascript, and sound. Small (4kb), easy-to-use and free. Java source code is available.

It's not necessary to have the .class file if you have the .jar one - see FAQ. Add the applet tag to your HTML document in the position you want menu to appear. Usually the easiest way to customize the applet is cut and paste the applet tag information used in the examples and modify it to fit your web page. If you see a "class not found" message, this means what your browser can't find the .jar file specified. This may mean a spelling or Case seNSitiVe mistake in the CODE= or ARCHIVE= attribute, the wrong location in the CODEBASE= attribute, or that you've forgotten to copy the .jar file to the necessary directory. To add frame support edit "menuItems" parameter as shown: {ItemText,ItemLink,Frame}. So {Home,home.htm,left} would display "Home" and make the frame called "left" go to "home.htm" on clicking. See also frame example. To enable Javascript support see javascript tips and javascript call example. Purchase Apycom Java Menu Applets may be used freely on non-commercial and non-profit sites.
