Setting Netscape Navigator plugin properties
After inserting content for a Netscape Navigator plugin, use the Property
inspector to set parameters for that content. To view the following properties
in the Property inspector, select a Netscape Navigator plugin object.
The Property inspector initially displays the most commonly used properties.
Click the expander arrow in the lower right corner to see all properties.
Name
specifies a name to identify the plugin for scripting. Enter a name in the
unlabeled field on the far left side of the Property inspector.
W and H
specify, in pixels, the width and height allocated to the object on
the page. You can also specify the following units: pc (picas), pt (points), in
(inches), mm (millimeters), cm (centimeters), or % (percentage of the parent
object’s width and height). The abbreviations must follow the value without a
space: for example, 3mm.
Src
specifies the source data file. Click the folder icon to browse to a file, or
enter a file name.
Plg Url
specifies the URL of the
pluginspace
attribute. Enter the complete URL
of the site where users can download the plugin. If the user viewing your page
does not have the plugin, the browser tries to download it from this URL.
Align
determines how the object is aligned on the page. For a description of each
option, see “Aligning elements” on page 271.
V Space
and
H Space
specify the amount of white space in pixels above, below,
and on both sides of the plugin.
Border
specifies the width of the border around the plugin.
Parameters
opens a dialog box for entering additional parameters to pass to the
Netscape Navigator plugin. See “Using parameters” on page 319. Many plugins
respond to special parameters. The Flash plugin, for example, includes parameters
for
bgcolor
,
salign
, and
scale
.
You can also view the attributes assigned to the selected plugin by clicking the
Attribute button. You can edit, add, and delete attributes such as width and height
in this dialog box.
