The Campict.class Java applet

About Campict

Campict is an easy-to-use Java applet that continuously displays a set of images with or without caching.

[External view]
If you were using a Java-enabled browser,
you would see a continuously updated image.

How to use Campict

  1. Place the file campict.class on the same server where your images are kept.
  2. Insert the following piece of code in your HTML file where you want the images to appear:
<APPLET CODEBASE="http://www.yoursite.com/neteye/campict"
   CODE="campict.class" WIDTH=362 HEIGHT=328>
   <PARAM NAME = "Image"
      VALUE = "/img/image1.jpg | /img/image2.jpg | /img/image3.jpg">
   <PARAM NAME = "ImageLabel" 
      VALUE = "First image | Second image | Third image">
   <PARAM NAME = "Interval"
      VALUE = "5">
   <HR>
   If you were using a Java-enabled browser, you would see a 
   continuously updating image instead of this paragraph.
   <HR>
</APPLET>

Notes:

  • CODEBASE specifies the full url where your copy of the Campict applet is located. The applet must be on the same server where your images are kept.
  • The WIDTH and HEIGHT values specifies the size of the applet frame. To fit the images exactly in the frame without resizing, use these values:

    • frame width = image width + 10 pixels
    frame height = image height + 40 pixels
