Easy way to just try it out

You can change the applet URL to link to my site directly. Just add codebase = "http:\\mercury.hypersurf.com\~pcheung" (you may need \web_docs at the end) inside the applet tag of the HTML file. This should work but I have not try it myself. If you have problem doing it email me. This would be a good way to verify your HTML data files also.

Click here to download a zip file of all the java classes, four suit image files and example html files.

You may need to change the code base parameter in the HTML file to point to your URL or local disk for it to work.

Copy it from your disk cache if you want them now

• Run the demo of the Bridge Applet. Your browser will store all the files that you are using in your disk cache. For IE 3.0 it is under \window \temporary Internet file. For Netscape it is under the subdirectory \cache of the netscape directory( this is messy because the file names are changed by Netscape. You can tell which one by the time of last update and the size of the file as shown below). YOU MUST COPIED THEM INTO ANOTHER DIRECTORY WHERE THE DATA FILE IS TO USE THEM.

• There are four Java class files:- bridge.class(27k) , bridgebidding.class(8k) , bridgeboard.class(13k) , bridgeframe.class (1k).

• There are four image files for the four suits:- spade.gif , heart.gif , diamond.gif , club.gif

• Put them all in the same directory you put your HTML data files. (DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE DISK CASHE DIRECTORY, THE BROWSER MAY DELETE THEM)

Email me for the request

email me if you want me to send them to you by email.

In the mean time you can also change the applet URL to link to my site directly. Just add codebase = "http:\\mercury.hypersurf.com\~pcheung" (you may need \web_docs) inside the applet tag of the HTML file.
