InstantPalace Parameters

        Applet Size (in applet tag)

        The default is 762,440.

        Mode

        This parameter indicates which class files are to be downloaded, determining many of the features and the download size and time.

        <PARAM name="Mode" value="CORE"> corresponds to the pal_core.cab class file.
        <PARAM name="Mode" value="NO_PP"> corresponds to the pal_nopp.cab class file.
        <PARAM name="Mode" value="FULL"> corresponds to the pal_arch.cab class file.

        Core is the lowest InstantPalace download. This is the one to use if you have no PalacePresents events and no advertising on your Palace. The No PalacePresents mode of InstantPalace allows advertising, but no PalacePresents. The Full mode allows PalacePresents and advertising. The default mode is full. The Core parameter saves about 40k over the Full parameter.
