//     arameters from the html file and use the
//     m inside java. Remember Java is case sen
//     sitive, so the names in the html file mu
//     st match your getParameter() names. Ex. 
//     html-PARAM NAME=Text Java-getParameter("
//     Text"). It also shows how to convert hex
//     color inputs to RGB color to use in Java
