After inserting a Netscape plugin, use the Property inspector to set parameters. Double-click a Netscape plugin to view the following properties in the Property inspector.

See also Shockwave, ActiveX, Java, and Netscape plugins overview.

The Property inspector initially displays the most commonly used properties. Click the expander arrow in the lower right corner to see all properties.

Plug-in is a name you enter to identify the plugin for scripting. You can enter any name you like.

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's value). The abbreviations must follow the value without a space, for example, 3mm.

Src specifies the source data file. Enter a file name, or click the folder icon and choose a file.

Plg Url specifies the URL of the PLUGINSPAGE 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. See Alignment options for a description of each option.

Alt specifies alternate content to be displayed if the user's browser does not support the EMBED tag. If you choose an image, it is rendered using the NOEMBED tag. If you type in text, it is rendered with the ALT attribute of the EMBED tag.

V Space and H Space specify the amount of white space in pixels above, below, and on either side of the plugin.

Borders specifies the width of the border around the movie.

Parameters opens a dialog box in which to enter additional parameters to pass to the Netscape plugin. Many plugins respond to special parameters. The Flash plugin, for example, includes parameters for BGCOLOR, SALIGN, and SCALE.
