Applet parameter data types

Data type Definition
Alignment indicator Valid values are left, for left-alignment, center for centered and right for right-alignment.
Boolean Valid values are true, yes, no and false.

The values true and yes are equivalent, as are the values false and no.

Boolean with automatic Valid values are On, Off, and Automatic.
Border type Valid values are Normal, Indented, and Raised.
Color definition A decimal or hexadecimal RGB value. Hexadecimal RGB values may be specified with or without a # character. For example, 660099 and #660099 both specify the color purple. Decimal RGB values must be comma-separated, for example 102,0,153.
Color name A color name, such as red, white or PapayaWhip.

Color names are resolved to RGB values by the file specified as the RGB Database in the X Protocol Engine properties. By default, this file is install_dir/etc/data/rgb.txt.

If you supply an invalid name, Tarantella uses the color black.

Helvetica, TimesRoman and Courier are the available font names.

Note Some browsers running on particular client devices may not provide all these fonts. Be aware that these font names only specify the font you would like the browser to use -- they don't guarantee the browser will use that font.

Host Identifies a host. You specify a host using the ENS name of a host object, a DNS name or an IP address. If you specify a DNS name or an IP address, there must be a corresponding host object in ENS with that DNS name or IP address as the value of its Address attribute.
