Well All Right
Since last week I have been busy honing the colo(u)red buttons and now they are much larger and complex. However I used some HTML code that works superbly using Internet Exploder 6 and as Bru found AOL but I suspect Netscrape might not like very much therefore I made graphical versions (jpgs) of the buttons and made them into "conventional" hyperlinks for anybody browser-challenged.
When the applet opens you will see that I have changed the contents of the "nick" box from "guest" to "My_name" as too many applet users were omitting to note that unless they changed "guests" to their own desired nickname they faced barrage of abuse from those already in the room!!!
the three buttons are self explanatory and appear on the page like this:-
Since I made that screenshot the actual page now has the three clickable jpg buttons under the above and I added a screenshot of the applet acceptance box.
Hoping for a large attendance this evening (we were 13 strong at one point last Fryday fittingly the 13th!)
and I suppose I missed "someone" out
