Specifying the applet's origin

The author

The author is a textual string that will appear in the HTML generated by SoundSafe. It helps to identify who created the applet that contains the sound. If the author identifer is manually changed by the editing the HTML file then the applet will no longer run and the sound can't be heard. It isn't necessary to set this field. If not set the default author name becomes "Unspecified".

The originating server id

It's highly recommended that this field is always set as it ensures that the applet and the sound it plays can't be moved to another server. The server prefix specified is as much of the net address of the applets HTML file as you want to specify. For instance, if we have an SoundSafe applet as part of a web-page whose URL is "www.kagi.com/equitysoft/example.html" then we could specify the prefix as "www.kagi.com/equitysoft". If we don't mind if the applet is downloaded from anywhere on the KAGI server we could specify the prefix as "www.kagi.com".

Note: The "http://" prefix shouldn't be specified for the originating server. If it is SoundSafe will remove it.
