The PopUpURL Java applet provides an easy way to create fully customizable popup menus containing URL locations.

To create the above popup menu the following HTML code was used:

<APPLET CODE="PopUpURL.class" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="30"> <PARAM NAME="item1" VALUE="http://www.apple.com/;item1"> <PARAM NAME="item2" VALUE="http://www.ibm.com/;item2"> <PARAM NAME="item3" VALUE="http://www.microsoft.com/;item3"> <PARAM NAME="item4" VALUE="http://www.cnet.com/;item4"> <PARAM NAME="item5" VALUE="http://www.search.com/;item5"> <PARAM NAME="item6" VALUE="http://www.claris.com/;item6"> <PARAM NAME="item7" VALUE="http://www.skytouch.com/"> <PARAM NAME="choice" VALUE="3"> <PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="-52"> <PARAM NAME="label" VALUE="Label: "> <PARAM NAME="labelcolor" VALUE="blue"> <PARAM NAME="align" VALUE="left"> </APPLET>
