Implementing the library is quite easy. Alter the index.html page in the package to your own needs or follow the following steps:- Link the library in the <head> tag:
<head>
<title>Widget Environment</title>
<script src="Widget.js" type="text/Javascript"></script>
</head>
- At onKeyDown listener to the body tag. This will enable resizing while hitting shift.
<body onKeyDown="keyDown(event)">
- Build a menu. Copy the menu from the index.html file in the library and alter it so that it will contain your website's pages.
- Create the Navigation Bar, icons and Widgets you want to show onLoad using the function
addIcon (image, xPosition, yPosition, caption, link); and
makeNewWidget(link, widgetTitle, width, height, maximizeOnStartup); Example:
<script>
createNavBar();
addIcon("img/network.png", 70, 70, "Login", "http://www.computer.com/login.php");
</script>
makeNewWidget("welcome.html", "Welcome", 300, 300, false);
