Useage
It is recommended that you leave ChompText zipped after
you download it. This way the class file and the chompani.gif
image stay together. Just set the archive attribute in your
applet tag to "ChompText.zip". This should work.
You can replace the chompani.gif file with your own image,
if you like. But keep the same file name. If chompani is
missing, then ChompText will perform a left to right wipe.
Issues
These are not really bugs, just issues you should be aware of.
- Speed: On some machines (slow ones),
ChompText looks weird. On a
100MHz box and ChompMan appeared as a deformed yellow blob about to keel over.
- Running multiple instances of
ChompText on the same page can cause problems.
Whenever one pauses, the rest will.
