Part3 Common Questions and Remedies 
Part3 Spinalink is shareware "distribute freely"

     Part1 General Description
     Spinalink can be included on any html webpage and does not require a Java server. Spinalink keeps links organised and
     tidy. A visitor can view your links by selecting an arrow button. Once the desired link is in view it may be followed by
     clicking on the select button. Spinalink can hold as many links as required, however Searchlink is recommended for
     more than 20 links. "©Searchlink is another product from Silk Webware" 

     Part2 Setting Up Spinalink on your page Spinalink is easy to set up and use, if you have any trouble please
     do not hesitate to email us at support@silk.webware.co.nz. You may trial Spinalink as an unregistred version for up to
     30 days after which you will be required to either purchase a UserCode or remove Spinalink from your page. Without a
     Usercode, Spinalink will display "unregistered version" when on a webpage, this message is not displayed when the
     appropriate UserCode is purchased and used in the following manor. 

     1: Simple setup: Usercode Note: The sample file spinalink.html is included spinalink.html. In the simple setup below
     no links will appear in the link name window. 

     <applet
     code=spinalink.class
     width=340
     height=78 >
     <param name=Usercode value="Q7182">
     </applet> 

     In the simplest setup these html tags are included on the page that you wish spinalink to be on. Within the same directory
     as this html file you must include three files spinalink.class, EnterSpin.class and TwoWay.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 "URL" of the page which contains spinalink. If spinalink 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 the spinalink panel on. 

     "if your Usercode is du8765 then the following will work"

     <param name=Usercode value="du8765"> 

     If you have not purchased a UserCOde please place Trial30days instead
     <param name=Usercode value="Trial30days"> 

     2: Simple setup: Height Width parameters 
     Note that the width and height parameters must always be 340 and 78 respectively, You do not have to change these
     values. 

     <applet
     code=spinalink.class
     width=340
     height=78 > 

     <param name=Usercode value="UserCode">

     </applet> 

     3: Adding the links to Spinalink
     The following example adds a single link to spinalink. The NumberofItems parameter must contain the exact number of
     links within spinalink. The Title(n) parameter is the name of the link name that will appear in the link name window. The
     (n) is the link number. The Address(n) parameter is the http address "URL" of the corresponding Title parameter. The
     (n) of the Title parameter must match with the respective (n) of the Address parameter. 

     <applet
     code=spinalink.class
     width=340
     height=78 > 

     <param name=Usercode value="RegistrationCode">

     <param name=NumberofItems value=1> 
     <param name=Title1 value="Silk Webware">
     <param name=Address1 value="http://silk.webware.co.nz">
     </applet> 

     Spinalink in this case would contain the link name "Silk Webware" in its links name window and clicking on the enter
     button would open the Silk Webware homepage at http://silk.webware.co.nz 

     The following would add 4 links to Spinalink. 

     <applet
     code=spinalink.class
     width=340
     height=78 > 

     <param name=Usercode value="RegistrationCode">

     <param name=NumberofItems value=4> 
     <param name=Title1 value="Silk Webware">
     <param name=Address1 value="http://silk.webware.co.nz">
     <param name=Title2 value="Microsoft">
     <param name=Address2 value="http://www.microsoft.com">
     <param name=Title3 value="Gamelan">
     <param name=Address3 value="http://www.gamelan.com">
     <param name=Title4 value="Javasoft">
     <param name=Address4 value="http://www.javasoft.com">

     </applet>

     4:Optional setup: Frame parameter 
     With this version of Spinalink we have included the option of allowing the "Linked" page to be opened in the frame of
     your choice. If you decide to ignore this option, Spinalink will open the page in the current frame . The following are the
     values which are currently accepted. Spinalink follows the current standard HTML conventions with respect to frames. 

     "_self" ---show in the current frame <default>
     "_parent" -----show in the parent frame
     "_top" -----show in the top most frame
     "_blank" ------show in a new unnamed top-level window
     <other> -----show in new top-level window named <other>

     Example:

     <param name=Frame value="_blank"> 

     This will cause Spinalink to open the "linked" page in a new unnamed top-level window. 

     <applet
     code=spinalink.class
     width=340
     height=78 > 

     <param name=Usercode value="UserCode"> 
     <param name=Frame value="_blank"> 

     <param name=NumberofItems value=4> 
     <param name=Title1 value="Silk Webware">
     <param name=Address1 value="http://silk.webware.co.nz">
     <param name=Title2 value="Microsoft">
     <param name=Address2 value="http://www.microsoft.com">
     <param name=Title3 value="Gamelan">
     <param name=Address3 value="http://www.gamelan.com">
     <param name=Title4 value="Javasoft">
     <param name=Address4 value="http://www.javasoft.com">

     </applet> 

     5:Optional setup: BackImage parameter Some designers have asked that we include a background image, this
     allows you to improve the general appearance of Spinalink. You may wish to set this parameter to the current
     background of the page. Please experiment with BackImage as certain colors and patterns can enhance the general
     appearance dramatically. Please note that only .jpg and .gif formats are acceptable. Hint: keep the patterns and colors
     within the graphics files as soft as possible. Spinalink will automatically "wallpaper" the Spinalink panel, so the size of the
     image is not important.
     Add a BackImage like this; 

     <param name=BackImage value="marble2.gif"> 

     Example:

     <applet
     code=spinalink.class

     width=340
     height=78 > 
     <param name=Usercode value="L6162">
     <param name=Frame value="_self">


     <param name=NumberofItems value=4>
     <param name=Title1 value="Silk Webware">
     <param name=Address1 value="http://silk.webware.co.nz">
     <param name=Title2 value="Microsoft">
     <param name=Address2 value="http://www.microsoft.com">
     <param name=Title3 value="Gamelan">
     <param name=Address3 value="http://www.gamelan.com">
     <param name=Title4 value="Javasoft">
     <param name=Address4 value="http://www.javasoft.com">

     </applet>

     6:Full Setup Example This sample setup shows all the HTML tags required show the marble2.gif both as the
     background of the page but also the background of Spinalink.

     Part3 Common Questions and Remedies The most Common mistake webpage designers make when
     using Spinalink is incorrect "case". Follow the sample html files using uppercase and lowercase
     respectively. 

     Q1: Why can’t I see Spinalink on my page?
     a: You may have made a mistake in the HTML tags used to embed Spinalink on your page. Check both the Spelling
     and the Case. 
     b: Have you included the appropriate .class files in the same directory as the page containing Spinalink The following are
     all required.


     spinalink.class 
     EnterSpin.class 
     TwoWay.class 

     c: Are you using a Java enabled browser? Find out how to get one. Most browsers released today are Java enabled. 

     Q2: Why can't I see my links and why won't they open?
     a: Have you supplied the correct address "URL".

     b: Have you used the correct case when dealing with the Title, Address and NumberofItems parameters. 
     c: Have you given the "NumberofItems" parameter the exact value of links. Example: if you have 10 links 

     <param name=NumberofItems value=10> 

     d: Remember each new link requires a new number after each set of Title and Address parameters. Please see previous
     examples. 
     e: Is the link still valid? 

     Q3: Why does Spinalink display "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 for registration details. 
     b: Are you using the correct Address "URL", Your Usercode is registered only for the http address you have supplied
     when you registered, If you want to put another Spinalink Panel on another page you will have to register it separately. 
     c: If you have a registered Usercode and Spinalink still displays Unregistered version!, Email us at
     custom@silk.webware.co.nz, we will check out the problem for you. 

     Q4: Why is there no background image? 
     a: Check your Html parameters, spelling and case 
     b: The image you are referring to may be a .gif not a .jpg (vs/vs) c: Is the image file in the same directory?

     Q5: I have just changed the parameters of Spinalink but it appears the same as before.

     a: You must reload the page in a new browser window, and completely clear the cache.
