Here's a demo of pbimg.class - A java class which performs the following:
- Display a plain coloured background, optionally matching the parent HTML window
- Display a tiled background file (thus giving the impression of transparency)
- Display an image over the background - this can be transparent
- Display a Win95 style hint text (location specified by parameter)
- Jump to another URL on mouseUp, just like an image link
I'm planning the following improvements:
- Autodetect background colour and image from parent URL , and synch background tiling.
- Image area relocatable in background(Currently always top left)
- Improved draw technique to improve perfomance when in 'DYNAMIC' mode.
- Try an clean up display of hint whilst background image not fully retrieved.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please mail me.
