<param name=useJS value="0/1">
(experienced users only!). disable/enable the Javascript support, the applet will call the setDesc javascript function with the comment as parameter. You can also call the applet methods setTimer(value), setFilter(value), newlistjs(listname) to alter the slideshow settings in realtime.
contents of the text file :
the text file must only contain the file names of the images you want to display.
you can add a directory before the file name.
images will be displayed in the order you wrote them in the text file, you can display several times the same image by repeating its name in the list.
if the text comments are enabled, you must add a line with the appropriate comment right after the line with the file name.
I you don't need comments for all the images, just leave a blank line.
the applet will switch to the first image when the last image will have been displayed.
if you enabled the url links, you must add a line with the url to link to after the file name or the text comment.
if you don't want to assign an adress for a page, just leave a blank line.
the last line of the file must end with an asterisk '*'.
