APPLET TAGS

    <APPLET …> tag supplies the name of the applet to be loaded and tells the browser how much space the applet requires. The <APPLET> tag contains several attributes that can help to integrate applet into the overall design of the web page. The syntax of applet tag is:

<APPLET

    [CODEBASE = codebase_URL ]

CODE = AppletFileName.class

[ALT = alternate_text]

    [NAME = applet_instance_name]

WIDTH = pixels

    HEIGHT = pixels

[ALIGN = alignment]

    [VSPACE = pixels]

    [HSPACE = pixels]

> 

[<PARAM NAME = name1 VALUE = value1>]

[<PARAM NAME = name2 VALUE = value2>]

………..

………..

[Text to be displayed in the absence of Java]

</APPLET>

The attributes in [] indicates optional tag.
