The Custom Branding example uses the standard HTML <param> feature to direct the  MyConnection Server applet to load a GIF file. To do this, create a transparent GIF image of the applet size and width so that a non-rectangular area (like a company logo) can be overlayed within the MySpeed applet GUI. Place the GIF inside the MyConnection Server ‘www’ directory and specify its file name, for example 'companylogo.gif' below.

Applet Syntax:

<applet MAYSCRIPT name="voip" code="myspeedserver/applet/myspeed.class" archive="/myspeed/myspeed.jar, /myspeed/plugins.jar" width=700 height=400>
<param name="backgroundoverlay" value="companylogo.gif">
</applet>
 

Explanation:

1. Using the standard HTML feature <param> the example sets the MySpeed parameter 'backgroundoverlay' to load a standard 'gif' file. The value settings define the gif file title assigned which instructs the applet to load the gif file. Because gif files support transparency the user can control which part of the gif is visible and where..

Although this option is being used to change the look and feel of the  test in this example this <param> technique can be used to assign any number of MyConnection Server test options. For example the Speed test results can generate an email for emailing to the service provider. Click the link below to see more options.
