The Web Resource action allows you to add any file that your browser supports. 

Examples of files/file formats that can be used are:

  • Graphics jpg/png/gif
  • PDF
  • Movies
  • Flash/Shockwave

Also, other files such as:

  • Word/Excel etc. (if the system has those applications).

The Browser window will be displayed in the Lesson screen and the Web Element dialog will appear - allowing you to edit the properties of the Web Element action.

General tab

The General tab on the Web Element dialog gives you:

  •  the option to select a file source (either a local or internet file)
  •  control of the position and size of the Web browser window and inclusion of a scrollbar
  •  the option of adding the Web Element action to the Background of the lesson.

Name

This is the name of the Web Element action (that will be displayed in the Action list of the Element dialog).  The default Name is the name of the file in the URL field.

Url

You can select a local file (use the File button to the right of the URL field) or a Web address, called a URL (use the Enter Web address button to the right of the File button).

Position

You may set exact X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) co-ordinates for the Browser window as well as width and height measurements.  Either enter the values into the Position fields or drag-drop the window to the required position on the screen, (the values in the position and size fields will update automatically). 

Border tab

The Border tab allows you to add a bevel or border around the Web browser window. 

You can then choose the colour scheme for the selected components.
