CoolPush Configuration

Inserting the Applet on a web page:

<APPLET code="CoolPush.class" align="baseline" WIDTH="540" HEIGHT="280"
name="CoolPush" archive="CoolPush.jar">
</APPLET>

Specifying parameters:

Between the <APPLET .... > and </APPLET> tags is where the parameters to the
applet will be placed. Here is an example:

<APPLET code="CoolPush.class" align="baseline" WIDTH="540" HEIGHT="280"

<param name="max" value="100">

</APPLET>

The above example configures CoolPush to only load 100 images.
