Hi
Parameters
Parameters are how you give details about how an applet should run. You use <PARAM ...> to communicate parameters. For example, if you want to tell MyApplet what text to display, you use the TEXT parameter.
<APPLET CODE="MyApplet.class" HEIGHT=50 WIDTH=100>
<PARAM NAME=TEXT VALUE="Hey Dude">
</APPLET>
The <PARAM> tag in the above example simply says TEXT="Hey Dude". This method of assigning a name with one attribute and a value with another is a way of bridging the gap between the worlds of HTML and Java.
Here's what each piece means:
<PARAM
This is a parameter to pass to MyApplet.
NAME=TEXT
The name of the parameter to pass is "TEXT"
VALUE="Hey Dude"
The value of the "TEXT" parameter is "Hey Dude".
FRAMESET
<FRAMESET ...> defines the general layout of a web page that uses frames. <FRAMESET ...> is used in conjunction with <FRAME ...> and <NOFRAMES>.
<FRAMESET ...> creates a "table of documents" in which each rectangle (called a "frame") in the table holds a separate document. In its simplest use, <FRAMESET ...> states how many columns and/or rows will be in the "table". You must use either the COLS or the ROWS attributes or both. For example, this code creates a set of frames that is two columns wide and two rows deep:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>A Basic Example of Frames</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="75%, *" COLS="*, 40%">
<FRAME SRC="framea.html">
<FRAME SRC="frameb.html">
<FRAME SRC="framec.html">
<FRAME SRC="framed.html">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
<FRAMESET ...> itself only define how many rows and columns of frames there will be. <FRAME ...> defines what files will actual go into those frames.
<FRAMESET ...> can be nested within another <FRAMESET ...> to create a "table within a table". By doing this you can create frames that are not strict grids like in the example above. This set of nested framesets creates the popular "title and sidebar" layout.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Great Recipes</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS="15%,*">
<FRAME SRC="recipetitlebar.html" NAME=TITLE SCROLLING=NO>
<FRAMESET COLS="20%,*">
<FRAME SRC="recipesidebar.html" NAME=SIDEBAR>
<FRAME SRC="recipes.html" NAME=RECIPES>
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
The first <FRAMESET ...> creates a "table" of two rows and only one column (because there is no COLS attribute). The first row in the frameset is filled in by the first <FRAME ...>. The row in the frameset is filled in not by a frame but by another <FRAMESET ...>. This inner frameset has two columns, which are filled in by two <FRAMESET ...>
<FIELDSET>
<FIELDSET> defines a group of form elements as being logically related. The browser draws a box around the set of fields to indicate that they are related.For example, a form might contain a few fields about name and email, some fields asking for opinions, and a field for "other comments". <FIELDSET> could be used to group those fields like this:
<FIELDSET>
name: <INPUT NAME="realname"><BR>
email: <INPUT NAME="email">
</FIELDSET><P>
<FIELDSET>
favorite color: <INPUT NAME="favecolor"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="onions"> like green onions<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="cookies"> like cookies<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="kimchee"> like kim chee<BR>
</FIELDSET><P>
<FIELDSET>
other comments:<BR>
<TEXTAREA NAME="comments" ROWS=5 COLS=25></TEXTAREA>
</FIELDSET>
CAPTION
<CAPTION ...> sets a caption for the table. <CAPTION ...> goes just after the <TABLE ...> tag. It does not go inside a <TR ...>, <TD ...> or <TH ...> element. There should be only one <CAPTION ...> per table. For example, this code creates a table with a caption of "Favorite Foods":
<TABLE BORDER=2 CELLPADDING=3>
<CAPTION>Favorite Foods</CAPTION>
<TR> <TH>Person</TH> <TH>Food</TH> </TR>
<TR> <TD>Ping</TD> <TD>French Toast</TD> </TR>
<TR> <TD>Andy</TD> <TD>Squirrel</TD> </TR>
</TABLE>
<CAPTION ...> is rarely used even though virtually every browser in use these days supports it.
