Netcaster Sample Code Examples

Webtop Widget (Requires Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher)
Use the Webtop Widget to use the entire desktop to view web pages--no chrome or toolbars. Implement this on your site and let visitors with 4.0 browsers see your content with the greatest possible viewing area, or just try it out and surf the Web with your desktop. Achieved via JavaScript1.2, Webtops are anchored to your desktop. Recently updated for use with scrollbars.

Visual Dynamic HTML Utility (Requires Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher)
The Visual DHTML utility is a web-based authoring tool to help you create your own Dynamic HTML content. This web application is written primarily in JavaScript1.2 and includes many useful features, such as "pre-built Widgets," "Drag and Drop," and a demo to help you get started.

Create a Channel With an Eye Toward Offline Viewing - Do's and Dont's
This collection of guidelines will allow the Netcaster channel developer to quickly develop offline content.

Dynamic HTML Checkbox
This example allows you to create a check box containing some arbitrary HTML. It demonstrates how objects can help you re-use code.

Drag and Drop Component
This sample code lets you create dragable layers with minimal coding.

Another Drag and Drop Component
This example is an extension of the previous one. The component cannot be dragged directly, but creates a new layer the user can then drag away and drop.

Dynamically Manipulating CSSP-Positioned HTML Elements
This sample code demonstrates how to move a positioned HTML element and modify its clipping area from JavaScript. It also demonstrates the appealing visual effect of opening "blinds" over the HTML element.

Dynamic Fonts Multiple Language Support
This example shows the potential of Dynamic Fonts for providing multiple language support without requiring additional software or operating systems. This allows for content providers and enterprises to publish platform independent mixed language documents that can be viewed by anyone with Communicator. Click here to view the source code.

Dynamic Fonts Typefaces

The Bitstream site shows how dynamic fonts allow designers to use the typefaces they grew comfortable with in the print world on the web to excellent effect. It also serves as a handy guide to various examples and bits of information about their TrueDoc technology, which is part of Netscape Communicator. Click here to view the source code.

growTo Function

This function will dynamically change the clipping rectangle so that a positioned element appears to grow to a specified dimension.

More HTML Layering Examples

Find examples on how to make your Web page look as if a visual element is sliding across it, make a curtain close across your page, or have a "spotlight" sweep across an image in Scripting Layer Effects and Transitions, a new article in View Source.

Netcaster Sample Channels
This set of three Netcaster sample channels show examples of Dynamic HTML, drag and drop, HTML tickers, and using plug-ins within a channel. It also contains a re-usable library of various JavaScript functions for capturing and managing mouse events, animating HTML elements, and setting user preferences within a channel.

Newsbox Object

This cut and paste code allows you to add a "news box" which vertically scrolls content such as headline news by adding just two lines of code to your webpage. The news box momentum can be changed if the user "flings" the box.

Open a Full Screen Window or a Small Window Based on a User's Screen Resolution

The new JavaScript functionality of the screen object allows you to gain much more control of the Navigator window. This code example shows how to open a window to the user's full screen size with no toolbars showing. It also shows how to open windows of a specific size in a given screen location dependent on the user's screen resolution.

Dynamic Scrollbar Component

This sample code adds scrollbars to a layer or a CSS-P container. It is much more configurable than default frame or window scrollbars.

Ticker Object

By cutting and pasting this code example you can add a ticker to a webpage with just two lines of HTML code. The ticker scrolls the contents of a specified HTML file. The ticker is draggable and the momentum can be changed if the user "flings" the tape.

Webtop Wizard

Netcaster Central now hosts a utility that creates a webtop template for you to customize for yourself or your company. The Netscape Webtop Wizard allows you to create a custom dynamic HTML channel with drawers and sections that link to commonly used web pages and software.
