Component Properties
When a component is selected then a component's properties can be changed by pressing
the property button 
When newly created, a component is already selected.
To select a new component the component
should be be clicked on or the "Shift selection button"
in the toolbar
should be pressed. (The Combo-box can only be selected in this latter way.)
The properties that can be changed depend on the type of component being edited.
Usually these will include:
- Defining the action for a component which is usually a link to a URL
- The foreground and background color
- The font in components with a text element
Defining an action
The action is showing a new webpage in a particular way. The webpage address should
be specified as it would be in normal HTML. If it's not an absolute address such as
"http://www.kagi.com/equitysoft" then it is treated as being relative to the
location of the applets HTML file. Instead of a web address it is of course
acceptable to use such URL's as "mailto:equitysoft@iname.com" for e-mail etc.
The adjust menu
All components will have the "Adjust" entry in the property menu. These options
relate to component positioning and allow for finer control over the component's placement
and size. The "Overall size" option will change the size but keep the existing ratio
between width and height.
The "Front/Back" option allows you to change the way components are layered over each other
The default size for images
Images (and movies) have default sizes and there will be a "Reset to default size" entry
in the property menu for these components. This will reset the component's size ti whatever
the default size is.
