Applet parameter name:
start_new_window
Group: Other Display
Label on Change Preference Set screen: Start First JET Screen
in a New Window
Value type: Boolean
Allowed values: yes,
no,
true, false
Default value: yes
Description
Whether JET 3270 will automatically create a new window when
it first starts. This preference is only relevant when JET 3270 first
starts. If it is yes JET 3270 starts in
"New Window" mode, otherwise JET 3270 starts in "In-Browser" mode.
New Window mode
In this mode, JET 3270 does not use any space allocated
to the applet on the web page. Instead, it
automatically creates a new window that runs outside of
the web browser.
New Window mode has the following advantages:
- The web browser is free for other web surfing
- The JET 3270 window can be dynamically re-sized as
desired by the user
- JET 3270 is able to create a menu bar at the top of
its window, which enhances ease of use
- More space is available for the terminal window
since there are no browser buttons or other controls
to get in the way
In-Browser mode
In this mode, JET 3270 uses the space allocated to the
applet on the web page using the WIDTH= and HEIGHT=
applet HTML attributes. It is therefore limited to
using this space, since web browsers do not allow users to
resize this space.
In-Browser mode has the following advantages:
- Emulator sessions can be encapsulated within other
text and/or images
A font has three properties, the font name, the style and the point
size. A font value is specified by a string with the
following form:
font_name-style-point_size
Each of the three properties is seperated by a short dash (-). The valid font names
depend on the Java environment. Typically the following font names are
available: Serif,
SansSerif,
Monospaced,
Dialog and
DialogInput. The style can be one of
plain,
italic,
bold or
bolditalic. Note that it is not possible
to specify italic or bolditalic using the Change Preference Set
screen. The point size can be any positive
integer. The style and point size are optional. If the font name is
not specified or is blank or invalid, the default font name, either
SansSerif or
Helvetica, is used. If the style is not
specified or is blank or invalid, the default style, plain, is used. If the point size is not
specified or is invalid, the default point size, 8, is used.
For example:
<PARAM
NAME="screen_font"
VALUE="Monospaced-bold-24">
<PARAM
NAME="screen_font"
VALUE="Serif--14">
<PARAM
NAME="screen_font"
VALUE="Dialog-bold">
<PARAM
NAME="screen_font"
VALUE="SansSerif-plain-9">
