The ripple free applet takes any gif and animates it to produce effects like the ripple of water.
You don't have java! Why don't you get: Microsoft Explorer


The program itself is very small and creates the frames of the animation on the browser machine, transferring only the original image across the Net.

The author would appreciate a link to his site should you decide to use this applet.

java applet explanation

To use the Ripple free java applet, I


applet parameters

IMAGE
Should be set equal to the filename of the .GIF file you want to animate..
PERIOD
Defines the wave size in the animation.
FRAMES
Increasing the number of frames will smoothen out animation for large waves, but it will take up more resources on the browser machine.
By default the rippled version of the image will be animated on top of the original, preventing gaps at the side of the image as it shifts back and forth. If you want the gaps to appear then add:
<param name="bordergap" value="on">
If you have a bordergap but don't want the image to disappear beneath the edges of the applet, add a white border around the sides of the base image. To get multiple animations easily, make the height of the applet a multiple of the height of the image. You can have as many images as there are frames in the animation.
