DISCLAIMER:
!!THIS APPLET IS COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE AND WITHOUT LIABILITY OF ANY SORT!!


RWBBanner is a Java2 SDK 1.4.2_08 applet that constructs and shuffles four banners.  It takes in four user defined images and text messages, builds four
banners, and then shuffles the banners in sequence.

Your web browser needs to have built-in support for Java2 technology or be set to use j2re1.4.1_01 or higher Run Time Environment for the applet to work.
 
The applet has 12 parameters that could be set to fit in your web page.  You have to include all parameters in your HTML code for the
applet to work.  However, you can assign an empty value ("") to any parameter (other than width & height) if you want to.  If any parameter is
assigned empty value, the program uses a preset default one.

The applet parameters are as follows:

Message1	w/capital M sets the first banner text to be displayed (default value "Programmer Naser El-Sharabasy")
Message2	w/capital M sets the scond banner text to be displayed (default value "Java2 Technology")
Message3	w/capital M sets the third banner text to be displayed (default value "SDK 1.4.2_08")
Message4	w/capital M sets the fourth banner text to be displayed (default value "nsharabasy@hotmail.com")
width		w/all small letters sets the width of the applet within the web page (default value "675") (appears in applet HTML header)
height		w/all small letters sets the height of the applet within the web page (default value "60") (appears in applet HTML header)
FontSize	w/capital F and S sets the font size (Times New Roman) (default value "36")
Delay		w/capital D sets shuffle delay in milliseconds (corresponds to shuffle speed) (default value "2400")
Picture1	w/capital P sets the folder and file names for the first image to be displayed in the first banner (default value "/heartUS.jpg")
Picture2	w/capital P sets the folder and file names for the first image to be displayed in the first banner (default value "/Ohioflag.gif")
Picture3	w/capital P sets the folder and file names for the first image to be displayed in the first banner (default value "/heartUS.jpg")
Picture4	w/capital P sets the folder and file names for the first image to be displayed in the first banner (default value "/Ohioflag.gif")

Note: The Picture parameters are treated as URL components.  Therefore, you have to include the directory path and file name begining with
	JAVA standard forward slash as shown in the default values.  The program then automatically retrieves the URL for that directory path.

The banner program uses Graphics & FontMetrics classes to proportionally arrange text in the middle of double image for each banner. 
Set the width and height of the applet to fit the font size.

Include RWBBanner.class in your web page folder, and add the following HTML code to the body of your web page:

<p align="center">
<applet width="675" height="60" code="RWBBanner.class">
	<param name="Delay" value="">
	<param name="FontSize" value="">
	<param name="Message1" value="">
	<param name="Message2" value="">
	<param name="Message3" value="">
	<param name="Message4" value="">
	<param name="Picture1" value="">
	<param name="Picture2" value="">
	<param name="Picture3" value="">
	<param name="Picture4" value="">
</applet>
