Quick instructions for using the Raup applet files in your own web page:

FILES PROVIDED:

The applet consists of five (5) files:
	Raup.class
	buttonPanel.class
	infoPanel.class
	shellPanel.class
	SliderPanel.class

The capitalization of the file names DOES matter!

If you save the files under different names, then the applet will not work.



PUT CODE IN YOUR WEB PAGE TO INSERT THE APPLET


A good WYSIWYG page layout program will generate the code needed to insert the applet into your web page automatically. For those of you who use a text editor to create your web pages, here's some tips. This is not meant to be a tutorial on creating web pages - if you need help, either ask your local webmaster, or buy one of the hundreds of books on using HTML (and soon, on using XHTML).


1) Create a directory for the applets on your web server, and post the 5 files to the new folder. All five files must be in the same directory. Write down the URL of your applet directory.


2) Create the web page, without the applet.


3) At the place you want to insert the applet into the page, add the code:
	<APPLET CODE="Raup.class" CODEBASE="your applet directory URL" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=450>
	</APPLET>

4) Replace the words
	your applet directory URL
with the URL you wrote down in step 1. The double-quotes around this text are required. 

NOTE: The values I've included for the WIDTH and HEIGHT (600 and 450, respectively) can be changed to whatever values work for your application. Change them as you need.


5) Post your web page on the web server.


6) IMPORTANT: view the page in your browser. This is the best way to find out if you have any problems. Problems I've encountered:
	+ files were corrupted in transfer
	+ Not capitalizing "Raup" in the applet name, and other typograpical errors
	+ missing file - didn't load all five of the applet files
	+ entered the wrong directory into CODEBASE
