The <APPLET> Tag:
When you build <APPLET> tags, keep in mind that words such as APPLET
and CODEBASE can be typed in either as shown or in any mixture of uppercase
and lowercase. Bold font indicates something you should type in exactly
as shown (except that letters don't need to be uppercase). Italic font
indicates that you must substitute a value for the word in italics. Square
brackets ([ and ]) indicate that the contents of the brackets are optional.

</APPLET>
CODEBASE = codebaseURL
This optional attribute specifies the base URL of the applet -- the
directory or folder that contains the applet's code. If this attribute
is not specified, then the document's URL is used.
CODE = appletFile
This required attribute gives the name of the file that contains the
applet's
compiled Applet subclass. This file is relative to the base URL of
the applet. It cannot be absolute.
ALT = alternateText
This optional attribute specifies any text that should be displayed
if the browser understands the APPLET tag but can't run Java applets.
NAME = appletInstanceName
This optional attribute specifies a name for the applet instance, which
makes it possible for applets on the same page to find (and communicate
with) each other.
WIDTH = pixels
HEIGHT = pixels
These required attributes give the initial width and height (in pixels)
of the
applet display area, not counting any windows or dialogs that the applet
brings up.
ALIGN = alignment
This required attribute specifies the alignment of the applet. The
possible
values of this attribute are the same (and have the same effects) as
those for
the IMG tag: left, right, top, texttop, middle, absmiddle, baseline,
bottom,
absbottom.
VSPACE = pixels
HSPACE = pixels
These optional attributes specify the number of pixels above and below
the applet (VSPACE) and on each side of the applet (HSPACE). They're treated
the same way as the IMG tag's VSPACE and HSPACE attributes.
< PARAM NAME = appletParameter1 VALUE
= value >
<PARAM> tags are the only way to specify applet-specific
parameters. Applets read user-specified values for parameters with the
getParameter() method. See Defining and Using Applet Parameters for information
about the getParameter() method.
alternateHTML If the HTML page containing this <APPLET> tag is viewed
by a browser that doesn't understand the <APPLET> tag, then the browser
will ignore the <APPLET> and <PARAM> tags, instead interpreting any
other HTML code between the <APPLET> and </APPLET> tags. Java-compatible
browsers ignore this extra HTML code. |
