NAME

       wml::std::box - Easily Create Rectangular Box

SYNOPSIS

	#use wml::std::box

	<box [attributes]>
	...
	</box>

DESCRIPTION

       The "<box>" container tag puts its body into a nice rectangular box which itself is build via a HTML "<table>" construct.

ATTRIBUTES

       "header"
	   This attribute switches between two totally different box variants.	When it is present, a headlined box is created by the use of one
	   single table but with space GIFs. When this attribute is missing a standard box is created by the use of two nested tables but without
	   any space GIFs.

       "bgcolor"
	   This sets the background color of the box.

       "fgcolor"
	   This sets the foreground (text) color of the box.

       "bdcolor"
	   This sets the color for the border of the box. The effect of this attribute is the automatic generation of a nested table construct to
	   achieve the optical effect.

       "bdspace"
	   This sets the space between the border and the body of the box in pixels.  Default is 4 pixel.

       "bdwidth"
	   This sets the border width in pixels. Default is 1 pixel.

       "width"
	   This sets the total table width in pixels. Default is no specific width for the standard box and 300 pixels for the headlined box
	   (because the headlined variant needs to know a fixed size to create the GIFs accordingly).

       "summary"
	   Add a description of this table.  This attribute is recommended in HTML 4.0.

EXAMPLE

	<box bdcolor="#000000" bdwidth=1 bdspace=10
	     bgcolor="#ffffff" fgcolor="#000000">
	Foo Bar Quux
	</box>

	<box header="Foo Bar Quux Header"
	     bdcolor="#000000" bdwidth=1 bdspace=10
	     bgcolor="#ffffff" fgcolor="#000000">
	Foo Bar Quux
	</box>

NAME

       wml::des::preload - Preload Images

SYNOPSIS

	#use wml::des::preload

	<preload src=<image filename> via=<trick>>

DESCRIPTION

       This include file provides the "<preload>" tag which can be used to preload images. Such preloading is usually done to speedup access for
       following pages. Currently there are only a few tricks how this can be done.

       The following combinations are currently supported:

       "src="anyimage "via=size"
	   Preloads the image anyimage by using an "<img>" tag with the attributes "width=1 height=1" which leads to the loading of the image but
	   only to a 1 pixel in display.

	   Advantage: Works for all browsers.

	   Disadvantage: This approach has the nasty side-effect of an occuring 1 pixel in display because "width=0 height=0" does not work as
	   expected in most browsers (especially in Netscape 4.x). So, position your "<preload>" tag somewhere it does not destroy the look and
	   feel of your page.

       "src="anyimage "via=js"
	   Preloads the image anyimage by using a JavaScript snippet which loads the image by declaring an unused "Image" object.

	   Advantage: Silently preloads the image without displaying anything.

	   Disadvantage: Only works for browsers with a JavaScript implementation and only for those who support the "Image" object (currently
	   NS/3, NS/4, IE/4).
