A Note on the Codebase tag in two forms first taking a relative path and then a URL

The HTML page above was put in H2 directory, in H directory in P directory.The Applet code was put in C2 directory in C directory in P directory as per the Fig. 1 Directory Tree

Fig.1 DirectoryTree

     P           The first form uses the url for a file on the local machine
   _|_          <applet code=AppT.class codebase=file:///c:/newcode/P/C/C2 width=300 height=300>
|      |        </applet>
H    C
|      |       This form uses a path to the code relative to the location of the calling HTML page
H2 C2      <applet code=AppT.class codebase=../../C/C2 width=300 height=300> </applet>

Both forms of the Tag worked when tested in Netscape 4.6 and Explorer 5
.

This note refers to what happens on my PC. On the server which provided you this page the same directory structure was created however P would now refer to the user, public directory. The relative path is still accurate though the URL reference would change to a http protocol form. ie http://www.sentex.net/~pkomisar/C/C2
or a file protocol referenced within the server directory

The Applet code below generated the Applet above

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class AppT extends Applet {

public void init(){

    setBackground(Color.gray);                                      //component not graphic's methods
    setForeground(Color.white);
    }
public void paint (Graphics g) {
         // A Dimension object contains width and height variables and is returned by getSize( )
    Dimension d=getSize();
                                                                     //set font before the string you want to effect
    g.setFont(new Font("Helvitica",Font.PLAIN,20));
    g.drawString("Gray's Variety",40,55);
    g.setColor(Color.yellow);
    g.draw3DRect
    (d.width-( d.width-15), d.height-(d.height-15), d.width-30, d.height-30, true );//see below *
             // note when the window is resized the rectangle with relative values resizes with it
    g.setColor(Color.red);
    g.draw3DRect(12,12,276,76,true);
    }
}

* This line of code is pretty awful

g.draw3DRect( d.width-(d.width-15) , d.height-(d.height-15) , d.width-30 , d.height-30 , true );

For reading and clarity it would be be better written as follows.

// Upper left x,y coordinates;
int upperLeft_X = d.width - (d.width - 15);
int upperLeft_Y = d.width - (d.width - 15);

// width of border box is width and height less 30 each
int w = d.width - 30;
int h = d.height - 30;

// raised is signalled by the boolean value 'true' and the expression becomes
boolean raised = true;

g.draw3DRect(upperLeft_x, upperLeft_y, w , h , raised );

The downside is you are trading six lines of code for one, not including comments.
