[chris9902]

i downloaded this applet to scroll text but i want to add links to it.

<applet code="text_scroller.class" width=160 height=220>
<param name=info value="Applet by Gokhan Dagli,textscroller.tripod.com">
<param name=textcolor value="03FEFE">
<param name=bgcolor value="000000">
<param name=enable_bgpicture value="0">
<param name=speed value="50">
<param name=textdimension value="12">
<param name=fonttype value="Arial">
<param name=paragraph_number value="3">
<param name=parag1 value="to TextScroller Java Applet.">
<param name=parag2 value="Vertical text scroll effect. You can use background image.">
<param name=parag3 value="Please visit textscroller.tripod.com for download latest version of textscroller.">
</applet>

but how do i add links to the text

i can post the class file if you need it

If applet allows it( that means the writer of the applet has not restricted it to be plain text) then you should be able to do something like this

<param name=parag1 value="to TextScroller Java Applet.">

add a link to the above

<param name=parag1 value="&lt;a href='www.w3c.org'&gt;W3c.ORG webiste.&lt;/a&gt;">

I am sure this will work provided that applet allows it.

BTW
to make any changes,one would require *.java file
*class file can not be modified.

This is a Java applet, not Javascript, and I presume that it is not possible to add hyperlinks unless a way is given in the applet's documentation - normal HTML is presumably not used.

You should not be using text scrollers for accessibility reasons, but if you must there are some available at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/index.html.
