Parameter Name | Parameter Description | Default Value |
---|---|---|
width | Specify the width in pixels of the ticker display. This is part of the <applet> Tag. | 144 |
height | Specify the height in pixels of the ticker display (including the border). This is part of the <applet> Tag. | 144 |
codebase | Specify the domain that the applet will run in, if it is different from the one that the web page is in. Java security restrictions
require that the datafile used by the applet is in the same domain as the applet code. If you want to reference a data file that is
in a different domain from the web page (for example to implement a shared message file), install the davisticker.code file on the
same server as the message file and set codebase equal to the directory URL. This allows person X to view person Y's web page to view
the ticker message generated by person Z. This is part of the <applet> Tag. |
Same as the Web Page containing the <applet> Tag. |
dataFile | Specify the path name of the data file that you want to display relative to the current web page or the codebase argument, if present. The file can be any file with ASCII text content. | None |
string | The text to display if no dataFile is specified, or if dataFile can not be found. | Blank message |
dataInterval | Sets the interval in seconds when the ticker looks for new data from the dataFile. This allows the message to be updated without refreshing the whole web page. The new message is used once the old message has scrolled completely off the display. Only applies if the dataFile parameter is used. | 60 |
font | Sets the text font. | "Courier" |
style | Sets the font style. Valid values are: "PLAIN", "BOLD", or "ITALIC" | "PLAIN" |
size | Sets the font size. | 12 |
fps | Sets the text scroll rate, roughly Frames Per Second. |
10 |
borWidth | Set the width in pixels of the border. | 1 |
borColor | Sets the color of the border. Specify a color by using decimal Red, Green, and Blue values between 0 and 255 separated by commas. | Black "0,0,0" |
backColor | Sets the color of the text background. Specify a color by using decimal Red, Green, and Blue values between 0 and 255 separated by commas. | White "255,255,255" |
fontColor | Sets the text color. Specify a color by using decimal Red, Green, and Blue values between 0 and 255 separated by commas. | Black "0,0,0" |
