Why don't my fonts show up?
Only certain fonts are supported by Java. Have a look under the help section for the font parameter you are using in the applet documentation.
Why is my menu opening a new window?
Sometimes when using frames, the menu refuses to open a link in a frame but instead opens it in a new window. This happens if the folder that the navigation menu is in does not include the page which is currently in the target frame. This is because of a feature built in to browsers for security reasons which prevents a frame from a different site being closed.

 

For example if your menu is in http://www.peanuts.com/nav/nav.html and the current document in a frame called 'main' is http://www.peanuts.com/index.html, then the menu will not be able to open a link in the frame 'main'. The solution is to place your navigation menu in as short a path as possible.
Do the menus have scrollbars?
None of the javabase applets will develop scrollbars when the menus become too long. The solution to this is to make them big enough. If you want them to scroll in a small area then I suggest you use an IFRAME tag to achieve this.
Do these menus work everywhere?
All of these applets are written for Java version 1.1.1. This means that they are compatible with all java virtual machines in browsers with version number 4.0+.
The menu displays a link to Javabase
If you have not already done so, then you may like to Register your applet. You should also make sure that the "copyright" applet parameter remains unchanged
How do I use a Javabase Key?
Once you have registered you will have a key to remove the adverts for this site. To do this, edit your HTML code and place the tag

 

<param name="key" value="YOUR_KEY_HERE!">

 

Also make sure that you have the latest version of the applet and that there are no other <param... tags in your code which have the name "key". Please e-mail if you have any problems with this.
What if I change my hostname/server?
If you change the actual way your site is accessed (ie. change your URL) then you will need to contact Javabase for a new key. If you are just changing your server IP and not your URL then there is no need to do this because the applet only looks at it's actual URL.
