Portfolio Parameters. To change parameters for the Portfolio Idea Container, you must edit the browser page that contains Portfolio. You will be changing statements in the HTML source code. Don't worry; you don't need to do any programming. To change a parameter, all you need to do is change one word or phrase in the text of the browser page. This is easier than it may sound.

First of all, open the browser page in a simple text editor. We suggest that you use Simpletext on Macs and Notepad on PCs. Find a group of lines that look like the one below:

<PARAM NAME=ParameterName VALUE=ParameterValue>

Locate the ParameterName you want to change. Then change the ParameterValue to the value you desire. Some ParameterValues must include quotation marks. Save the browser page and exit (quit) the text editor.

The table below lists the parameters you can change.

History Page Label


number

The number of images that you can choose from for the title icon. The VALUE must be an integer greater than zero.

Return to Top

defaultImageName

The name of the default title icon. The VALUE should match VALUE of name0 or name1 or name2, etc.

Return to Top

image0, image1, image2, etc.

The names of the image files. VALUEs must be in quotation marks. Only GIF or JPEG images (extensions .gif and .jpg) should be named here.

To replace the three default images, change the VALUEs for image0, image1, and image2. If necessary, change the VALUEs for name0, name1, name2 (see below) and defaultImageName (above). Then place the new image files in the same folder as cpu.jar.

To add a fourth image, copy the lines for image2 and name2. Paste them. In the pasted lines, change image2 to image3 and name2 to name3. Change the VALUEs of image3 and name3. Increase the VALUE of number to 4. Place the fourth image file in the same folder as cpu.jar (if you don't know the location of cpu.jar, use your computer's Find function to find this file).

To add more images, modify the step above appropriately.

Return to Top

The names given to the title icons on the title icon menu (see the pocket help page). VALUEs require quotation marks if they are longer than one word.
