Applets

2

A Java applet is a small application embedded in your HTML document which runs in the browser window.

Applets can be animated banners, stock ticker tapes, photo cubes and animated video clips.

Applets are downloaded onto the user’s computer and run from their system.

Applets are secure – they do not have the ability to read or write to files on a user’s computer.

Applet Tags

3

Applets are embedded in the HTML document with tags.

<applet> </applet> The applet tag has three required attributes:

code=“value” specifies the name of the applets class

width=“value” specifies the width for the applet display in pixels

height=“value” specifies the height for the applet display in pixels

Applet Parameters

4

Applets may also require parameters. Parameters allow users to specify custom

values to use in an Applet. Parameters are specified with the <param /> tag.
