Parameter index
 

 
The advantage of loading an index from parameters is that the applet starts faster (but your page loads slower). The pros and cons of external indices and parameter indices are complex, and some people prefer one or the other. With the Express and Pro versions of this applet, you have the choice.
 
The parameter index loading uses a special parameter called "entry". This parameter can be used up to about 100 times, each time with an integer tagged onto its name. So you can start at "entry0" for the first entry, "entry1" for the second entry, and so on.
 
<PARAM NAME="entry0" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry1" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry2" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry3" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry4" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry5" VALUE="....">

 
Remember to start at entry0 (zero-based!) and leave no gaps in the numbers.
 
The format of the entry parameter's value is much the same as the format of a single line in the index file (described earlier), with one difference: instead of separating the individual elements with inverted commas, they must be separated with the vertical line symbol |. Thus:
"TEXT:my entry" "1" "" "LINK:myPage.html,myFrame" "description of my page"
becomes:
<PARAM NAME="entry_" VALUE="TEXT:my_entry|1|0|LINK:myPage.html,myFrame|description of my page">
 
NB: if you forget to add a dummy stylesheet marker and leave the stylesheet entry (3rd entry) blank, your links will stop working. Enter 0 as the stylesheet marker unless you are deliberately referencing to another style.
