Specific Load Destination Image URL Where?
param name="imageloadwhere0" - "imageloadwhereN"
The "imageloadwhereN" tag specifies where the document specified in the "imagedesturlN" parameter should be loaded. The default is "_self". A value equal to the name (case sensitive) of a frame will load the document in that frame.
"_parent" show in the parent frame
"_top" show in the top-most frame
"_self" show in the current frame
"_blank" show in a new unnamed top-level window
"name" show in a new top-level window named name
"frame name" show in the frame named frame name
Note: When targeting a frame location with the name of the frame make certain that the case and names are typed identically. If the applet cannot find the frame the document will be loaded in a new window.
Sub Menu URL Links
param name = "desturl0-0" - "desturlN-N"
value=X, where X is the link for the specific sub menu message. (e.g. to define a link for the first images first sub menu message use "desturl0-0" for the second use "desturl0-1", etc, to define a url link for the third images second sub menu message us "desturl2-1", etc., etc.) URL's can be defined relative to the HTML document containing the applet or fully qualified.

The "loadwhere" tag specifies where the default target location is to load all links in the applet. Use the specific loadwhere settings above to overide the default.
"_parent" show in the parent frame
"_top" show in the top-most frame
"_self" show in the current frame

"name" show in a new top-level window named name
