This param specifies the data for the applet. Each content item is specified by four fields separated by a semicolon.

The third field refers to the targetframe name. The targetframe name can be any user-defined name or one of "_top", "_blank", "_self" or "_parent". Specify a 0 (zero) for the folder item.
The fourth field refers to the URL for the document. This can be either relative or fully qualified. For example, this value can be specified as test.html, ../test.html, or http://<domain>/test.html. Specify a 0 (zero) for the folder item.

Each content item is separated from the other with '|' character. The indentations shown above are optional and are used just to illustrate the tree hierarchy.
