A full working example can be found at http://silk.webware.co.nz/Products/Remindme
Please NoteRemindMe will not send mail unless it is on an internet webpage, it will not send mail from your own computer. RemindMe can be included on any internet Webpage however some host computers may not let RemindMe connect to their mail servers, please try RemindMe on your website, it will let you no if it can't send mail!
1: Simple setup: Usercode
Once you have registered you will receive a UserCode,
if you have not purchased a UserCOde please use Trial30days instead.
A sample html file is included Remindme.html
<applet
code=RemindMe.class
width=154
height=43 >
<param name=Usercode value="Trial30days">
</applet>
In the simplest setup these html tags are included on the page that you wish RemindMe to appear. Within the same directory as this html file you must include the two files RemindMe.class and Remind2.class.
Once you have purchased your Usercode enter it in as a parameter; Note: Each UserCode is unique and is based on the exact http address of the page which contains RemindMe . If RemindMe is on, for example, http://silk.webware.co.nz/homepages/Entrance.html then the Usercode would be something like Cv7636. When you purchase a Usercode you must send the exact address of the page you intend to place RemindMe.
Domain versions are also available, this means RemindMe will be registered anywhere within your internet domain address. If you purchase a domain UserCode, please let us know if your domain is known by more than one name.
eg silk.webware.co.nz or 303.98.67.91
"if your Usercode is du8765 then the following will work"
<param name=Usercode value="du8765">
2: Simple setup: Height Width parameters
Note that the width and height parameters must always be 154 and 43 respectively, You do not have to change these values.
<applet
code=RemindMe.class
width=154
height=43 >
<param name=Usercode value="UserCode">
</applet>
3:Message Parameter
RemindMe can send as much or as little information as you desire. The message is placed in a text
file which RemindMe reads before sending to the guests email address. If you were to name this file EmailMessage.txt then then following must be added to your html file.
<applet
code=RemindMe.class
width=154
height=43 >
<param name=Usercode value="UserCode">
<param name=Message value="http://www.yourhost.com/yourfiles/EmailMessage.txt">
</applet>
1)The Message Parameter must be the full URL of the file which contains the message
2)The file that contains the message must be on the same host computer/domain as the RemindMe applet
3)The Message file can be any text file. ASCII, See this example Mess.txt

height=43 >
<param name=Usercode value="UserCode">
<param name=Message value="http://www.yourhost.com/yourfiles/EmailMessage.txt">
<param name=MailHeader value="Mail from Me">
</applet>

<param name=Usercode value="UserCode">
<param name=Message value="http://www.yourhost.com/yourfiles/EmailMessage.txt">
<param name=MailHeader value="Mail from Me">

Q1: Why can’t I see the RemindMe on my page?
a: You may have made a mistake in the HTML tags used to embed RemindMe on your page. Check both the Spelling and the Case or use the sample RemindMe html file as a base.
b: Have you included the appropriate .class files in the same directory as the page containing RemindMe? The following are both required.
RemindMe.class
Remind2.class
c: Are you using a Java enabled browser? Find out how to get one. Most browsers released today are Java enabled.
Q2: Why does the email message say that it was sent with an "Unregistered version!"
a: If you have not registered your page for a correct and specific Usercode please go to
Silk Webware at http://silk.webware.co.nz/Order for registration details.
b: Are you using the correct Address "URL", RemindMe is registered only for the http address you have supplied when you registered, If you want to put RemindMe on another page you will have to register it separately. "This does not apply to Domain UserCodes
which allow you to use RemindMe anywhere within the domain." eg silk.webware.co.nz
c: If you have a registered Usercode and RemindMe still displays Unregistered version!, Email us at custom@silk.webware.co.nz, we will check out the problem for you.
Q3: The eMail arrives but does not contain the Message.
Instead of the message you will be sent instructions telling you what the problem is and how to
fix it. Please follow these directions.
Q4: I have just changed the parameters of RemindMe, but it appears the same as before.
a: You must reload the page in a new browser window, and completely clear the cache.
