applet Tag

HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 Reference: <applet> TagThis element has been deprecated.

      HTML <applet> Tag        
                    
          Syntax
          This element uses separate opening and closing tags.

            <applet>...</applet>          
        

          Usage
          The <applet> tag is used to embed a Java applet into the web page. The content that is placed between the opening and closing tags serves as alternate information that can be displayed by browsers that do not support the <applet> tag, or for browsers that that have this feature disabled. This tag has been deprecated and can be replaced using the <object> tag.

          

          The <applet> tag must use either the code attribute or the object attribute.

        

        <applet> example:
        <applet code="swimmingfish.class" height="200" width="200">Swimming Fish</applet>
        

        

        Alternative example using the <object> tag as a replacement for the <applet> tag:
        <object codetype="application/java" classid="java:swimmingfish.class"
 height="200" width="200">Swimming Fish</object>
        

          Content Model
          The <applet> element can contain the following tags, and Text, between its opening and closing tags.<a>

        Description
      
heightThe height attribute  specifies the initial height, in pixels, of the applet.

Note: This is a required attribute.
Note: This attribute has been deprecated.
widthThe width attribute  specifies the initial width, in pixels, of the applet.

Note: This is a required attribute.
Note: This attribute has been deprecated.
alignThe align attribute specifies the position of the applet. A value of "bottom", "middle", or "top" specifies the position with respect to surrounding text. a value of "left" or "right" will float the applet to the left or right.

Note: This attribute has been deprecated.
altThe alt attribute is used to specify alternate text to be displayed in the event that the browser is not enabled to display the applet.

Note: This attribute has been deprecated.
archiveThe archive attribute specifies a comma separated list of URLs for resources to be preloaded in order to improve the performance of the applet.

Note: This attribute has been deprecated.
codeThe code attribute is used to specify the path to the applet class or it specifies the name of the file that contains the applet's subclass.

Note: This attribute has been deprecated.
codebaseThe codebase attribute is used to specify a base URL for the applet. If a base URL is specified then the code, archive, and object attributes can use URLs that are relative to the specified base URL.

styleThe style attribute specifies styles for the tag. For Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the syntax is name:value. Each name:value pair is separated by semicolons. See style Example 
titleThe title attribute specifies additional information about the tag. It is common for browsers to display the title when the pointing device stops over the object. See title Example
