Inside our WebTV boxes, as part of the software, are "romcache" images that function as hotlinks in form code. The most familiar is the form or "bif" button. They come in quite a few varieties. The Reload button above and the expanding button link just below are two types. This page shows them all and provides the coding.

We can add an indicator light to the buttons. The Reload button above has the green "LED" light on. Since the 2.7 upgrade the red "LED" is encased in an ugly blue field. So it is rarely seen now.

This form button link to a midi has the green led off. Clicking will put it on and start the music. (Click the "Source Code" link below for the exact code for this and all demonstrations on this page.)

The radio button is coded with the <input type=radio> tag. It appears as a circular button light which is red when clicked to the on state. It is used here to play a brief "stopper" midi, turning off any music which may be playing. Two are stacked to show one decorated with a bordered table and one plain.

The check box is coded with the <input type=checkbox> tag. When clicked a check appears in the box and a link is activated. The check boxes here are used to activate sound files. All these switches can also activate image and page files, of course.

The check box is converted to a "slider" switch with the addition of special romcache gifs to the input (see source code). When clicked the switch slides right (or left) and a link is activated.

SWITCHES IN SIGS

The above switches were coded to function on web pages. Those below are coded to work in sigs and will not work here. They are just for show on this page. The radio button and checkboxes work in email sigs, but not posts, by dispensing with the <onclick> code and using the <action> command in the input.
(Click the "Source Code" button for exact coding.)

The form buttons will work in posts and email using the <action> command in the <form> tag.

<form method="post" action="url_here"><input type="submit" value="button_text_here" text="button_text_color_here" borderimage="file://rom/borders/buttonborder3.bif"></form>
