<applet> tag — TutorialBrain

Note/Warning/Danger/Info HTML4 and HTML5 does not support the <applet> tag.

HTML <applet> tag

Java has multiple small applications which are often referred to as applets which are written in Java programming.

The <applet> tag was used to embed Java applets on the HTML document.

As the <applet> tag is not supported in HTML4 or HTML5, it is best to use the <object> tag.

If you do not wish to use the <object> element also, then you can also use the <embed> tag.

Syntax:
<applet code=”javafilename”></applet>

<applet code ="BouncingBall.class" width ="350" height ="200"></applet>
