egyonnet Now we have the port which the server runs on. If you didn't change it on the server it should default to 6666 (the number of the beast multiplied by 10 plus 6): Give the applet a default font, and default size. You can use the values: Helvetica, Courier, Times (or on 1.1 browsers: Sans, SansSerif, Monospace). The color parameter.. hmm.. I wonder if it still works if you set it to 0. If you set it to 0 it will create an ugly no color text box but people can cut and paste text from it. Color mode is the pretty version with colors for privates, yells, channel messages, and normal messages. YourName sets the name the user will have when they connect to the chat. Turn allowanychannel off and users can only change to the channels listed in the drop down. This will set the channel names listed in the channel menu. If you want the user to be automatically put in a channel set the defaultchannel parameter. If not take the HTML code out: Default encoding sets the encoding the applet users. If the chat is American don't set these two. International mode must be set set to 1 for the applet to accept the encoding AND the browser must be able to do Java 1.1. An example of an encoding to set would be Cp1252 (which would allow the applet to do Swedish A rings, A dots, O dots). If you don't know which encodings to try please look at this page: http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html. If you set these to zero you can turn off parts of the applet. For example if you turn off rightbar, all the buttons on the right won't show up and there will be more room for the user to see chat messages. For Russian encodings I've found it good to take out the bottombar and run that through Javascript. The following will set (in order of appearance: channel messages color, private messages color, yell messages color, normal messages color, the text's background color, the panel's forground color, the panel's background color, and the scrollbar color. These values must be a hex value with a # first or the applet will probably not start. If you want a background picture under the user's text, set this. It can be a gif or jpg I believe. Dunno if anything else works.
