Installation Instructions : MoneyToys™ Simple Loan Calculator

Thank You!

Thanks for purchasing a license to install a MoneyToys™ calculator on your web site! These installation instructions will assist you step-by-step. The MoneyToys™ Financial Calculator License Agreement was included in this applet's archive file and is available online.

Installing MoneyToys™

First, upload the file wwsw_SimpleLoan.jar into the same directory on your web server which contains (or will contain) the web page which will display it.

Next, copy the Applet Element (you'll find it below) and paste it into your web page in the location you wish.

Finally, upload your web page to its proper directory on your web server (the same directory that contains the *.jar file). That's it! Visit your web site and check it out.

Editing Initial Values and Colors

After you have installed the MoneyToys™ calculator and have it working on your web page, you may wish to change the initial values and colors. You may edit the param values in the applet element to meet your needs. The values you set in the param statements will be displayed as the initial values when the applet is first loaded.

Changing the initial values is easy. For example, to modify the initial value of LOAN from 95000 to 100000, simply change the line:

<param name="LOAN" value="95000" />

to read:

<param name="LOAN" value="100000" />

The Color Paramaters are edited in the same manner by using the standard hexadecimal scheme for web colors. For example, FFFFFF is white and 000000 is black.
