Setting Up Tagalog Dictionary Readers in Web Pages

There are three varieties of Tagalog Dictionary Readers that you can put on Web Pages.  Each is described below, along with instructions on how to place them in a Web page.  All are Java applets, and are placed on a page using Insert/Advanced/Java Applet. The applet settings (Source, Base URL, and height and width are listed below each version.


Small Example: this version can be embedded in a fixed location in a Web page (or Frame page).  It is designed to be small, and will only show the English definition.

Applet Source is: tagsmallGui.class.

Applet Base URL is: http://www.seasite.niu.edu/java/TagDictReader/

A height of 90 and a width of 600 seems good, but you can experiment with different values (try to provide enough width for 80 chars).


Medium Example: this version will create a pop-up, draggable window that will show all the dictionary entry's textual information, one field at a time, via radio buttons to select the text field to view.  You can embed it in a Web page (or Frame page).  The draggable window can be closed or open using the open/close dictionary button.  The Button is the applet; clicking it will make the pop-up dictionary appear.  The draggable window will appear every time the page containing the applet appears.  If the user goes to another page, the draggable window will also disappear.   The applet param autostart gives you control over whether or not the draggable window will automatically appear everytime the user sees the page.  It can have "yes" or "no" as its value.  The default is "yes".

Applet Source is: tagmedGui.class.

Applet Base URL is: http://www.seasite.niu.edu/java/TagDictReader/

The height is 25 and the width is 125.   This is the size of the applet which is also the size of the open/close button.   You can try other values so long as you can see the button text clearly.


Large Example:  this version is embedded in a Web page, and takes up most of the room on a page.  It shows all textual information for an entry at once, in separate text areas. 

Applet Source is: tagbigGui.class.

Applet Base URL is: http://www.seasite.niu.edu/java/TagDictReader/

The height should be 600 and the width should be 500.  Again you can resize them if you want.
