S ystems Control Panel

There have probably been a great number of times that you have wished that you could control the systems of your Star Cruiser via a World Wide Web page. Now you can.

The example below is a simplified "Systems Control Panel" for a Star Cruiser. You can enable the Shields, Phasers, or Torpedos by clicking on the appropriate button. Clicking on the button a second time will disable the system. To disable all systems at once, click the "Reset All" button.

By the way, nothing will happen when you click the buttons on the "Systems Control Panel" ... they really are not connected to a Star Cruiser.
No special applet parameters are used for this example. The "Systems Control Panel" is entirely defined by the applet code.

The applet source code is included if you would like to see how the "Systems Control Panel" was implemented.

The button bar images for this example are shown below:
