Example Zimlets

Description

This zimlet will match the words lab, user or remodel and display a tool tip. On mouse right-click, a menu is presented. Each menu item will launch a website.

The Zimlet ZIP Package contains only one file: the Zimlet Definition File. The two menu items are defined using <menuItem> and use the <canvas> tag to define the target canvas for the <actionUrl> to execute (i.e. the URL to go to) when the menu item is selected.
