USING JIFFYCLIP
===========================================================

DISPLAY
-----------------------
Use the display to preview images and mouseOver effects. You can click and drag an image anywhere within the display - this feature has no purpose, it is just neat, and we thought we should point it out. You can also set the display bgcolor with the nifty screen color picker* thingy (the small square box in the lower right hand corner of the display) 
context menu. From the menu, select either "src" or "msrc" to set the appropriate property value.

* Color picker code courtesy Ken of Maximized Software - Maximized Software (http://www.maximized.com/)has lots of cool software for web developers. VISIT THEM NOW OR YOU WILL NEVER KNOW GREATNESS!

PROPERTY FIELDS
-----------------------
JiffyClip auto-fills as many fields as possible. If some fields contain no data, the corresponding component of the tag or script will not be generated. JiffyClip doesn't check for valid data, so be sure that you do. Don't enter any quotation marks in these fields - don't put in any blank spaces. If you enter a path be sure to include the trailing slash.

- Dragging a file from Windows Explorer to either the src or msrc field, sets the value for that field.

FILE LIST
-----------------------
You can use the file list at the bottom of the form to set the src and msrc properties respectively. Set the src property by SHIFT-clicking a file name or pressing the spacebar, set the msrc property by CRTL-clicking a file name or pressing CTRL-spacebar. A context menu also allows you to set either property.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
-----------------------
SPACEBAR: Sets the src property.
CTRL-SPACEBAR: Sets the msrc property.
CTRL-D: Shows what the current tag looks like
CTRL-C: Copies the current tag to the clipboard (as long as the file list does not have focus).
ESC: Either
	(1) minimizes JiffyClip
	(2) cancels directory browsing

MRU
-----------------------
JiffyClip(R) remembers previous entries for the following fields: path, alt, href, target, and mpath. MRU data for these fields can be accessed via menu. Click the small down-arrow to the right of the field to activate the menu.

YADDA YADDA
-----------------------
Some people can't figure out how to use JiffyClip. Since it doesn't make any sound or do any other Weezie McPops, you might not otherwise know that when you click the "Copy", JiffyClip copies the code to your clipboard - it really DOES.


SUPPORT
===========================================================
We don't provide it, so don't ask!

You can send comments or suggestions to jiffyclip@colgreen.com.


A NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY
===========================================================
JiffyClip generated source is compatible with Netscape Navigator 3.0+, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0+. Version 1,2.x of Netscape Navigator and 1,2,3.x of Microsoft Internet Explorer do not support the idea of an image as a discrete document object. Due to this limitation the mouseOver code snippet generated by JiffyClip does not function properly on these browsers. JiffyClip code snippets *do*, however, guard against unsupported browsers returning an error to the user.


A NOTE ON JAVASCRIPT
===========================================================
While the code snippets produced by JavaScript are solid code, they are not the absolute best way to produce the mouseOver effect. For information on producing the best quality code, consult a JavaScript manual or the online resource of your choice. Both C|Net's builder.com (http://builder.com/) and Mecklermedia's WebReference (http://webreference.com/) provide excellent reference in this area.
