Download the applet:
.
Download the code
.
The
author is Virtual Max whose site is no longer online. And unzip both in a folder -
mine I named puzzle.
STEP 1
Create your image. It can be as small or as big as you
want, and the shape you prefer: either a square or a rectangle. Save as a .jpg
or gif.
STEP 2
Open a new html webpage and save as index.html.
Then create a table on this index.html page.
<table bgColor="#000000"
border="6" borderColorDark="#B72829" borderColorLight="#C95E5E" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="50%"> </td>
<td width="50%"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Change the colour of the background --> bgColor="#000000",
the width of the border --> border="6", the colour of the dark border --> borderColorDark="#E4D8C4"
and that of the light border --> borderColorLight="#b59660".
Adjust the width of your table. Here
it's at 100%.
On the left add your image where you see the empty
cspce/cell ( ) and on
the right, add the applet code where you see the empty space/ cell ( ).
STEP 3 - The Applet code
to add on your index page.
Let's look at it.
<APPLET CODE="puzzlemaker.class" WIDTH=211
HEIGHT=214>
<PARAM NAME="AUTHOR" VALUE="Virtual_Max (http://come.to/vmax)">
