Instructions
for use
-
Download
your copy of Prats e-card from here.
-
Unzip
the files in a separate folder " c:\prats".
-
Now open
the document "Prats Configuartion.html" , after opening it will prompt
you for your user name and registration key. Note that this form will presently
work in Netscape only(it will be fixed in future releases for Internet
explorer).
-
Once you
have registered it will show you a form where all the items of the card
are marked and some default values are also given for ready reference.
-
The items
marked in red are the ones that you essentially have to change to personally
customize your card. The others can be left as default for convenience.
-
A RGB
generator is also provided with the card so that users can readily see
the colors theyare selecting and also know the RGB code for the desired
colors.
-
After
filling up the form click on the "Generate HTML" button and the required
HTML tag will appear in a text area below the button.
-
Select
the entire text in the box and right click your mouse and select "copy".
-
Now open
a notepad and again right click and select paste "paste".
-
Now save
this file in a separate folder say "c:\greetings" and in the file name
box type "greetings.html" including the quotation marks and click "save".
-
In the
same folder shift the "images" folder from "c:\prats" and if you have slected
to give some of your pictures then put these pictures in this folder. (
To compact size you can remove some of the pictures that came as default-
names are quite descriptive to help you in that).
-
Now you
are all set to go- to see your work just open the folder "c:\greetings"
in window explorer and select "greetings.html" (or whatever name you may
have selected but it should be a html or htm").
-
And thats
it!
-
You may
have to try a few times initially to get your settings right but in most
of the cases the defaults should work for you.
-
The image
files that works with this card will depend upon the one supported by the
Java Virtual Machine of your browser and presently this version has been
tested with gif's,jpg's and jpeg's. There maybe more that will work this
one but I have not tried these options.
-
Please
feel free to drop in your suggestions.
