NAME
|
Applet element (Java Applets)
|
SYNTAX
|
<APPLET>any string of text</APPLET>
|
DESCRIPTION
|
This element allows a Java applet to be embedded into an
HTML document. It is supported by all Java enabled
browsers. The applet accepts parameters via associated
PARAM elements. The content of
the applet should be used to provide an alternative to
the applet for browsers that do not support Java. Java
compatible browsers simply ignore the text.
|
ATTRIBUTE(S)
|
NAME |
DOMAIN |
DESCRIPTION |
CODEBASE |
a valid URL |
This optional attribute specifies the base URL of
the applet. That is the directory that contains the
applet's code. If this attribute is not specified,
then the containing document's URL is used.
|
CODE |
a file name |
This attribute is REQUIRED and gives the
name of the file that contains the applet's
compiled applet class. This file is relative to
the base URL of the applet and cannot be
absolute.
|
ALT |
any string of text |
This attribute specifies any text that should be
displayed if the browser understands the APPLET
tag but cannot run Java applets.
|
NAME |
a name for the applet |
Specifies a name for the applet instance which
makes it possible for applets on the same page
to communicate with each other.
|
WIDTH |
a number of pixels |
This REQUIRED attribute gives the initial
width of the applet display area.
|
HEIGHT |
a number of pixels |
This REQUIRED attribute gives the initial
height of the applet display area.
|
ALIGN |
top, middle, bottom, left, right |
This specifies how the applet is positioned
relative to the current line of text in which the
applet is placed.
The top value positions the applet with
the top of the current text line. Browsers vary
in how they interpret this. Some only take into
account what has occurred on the text line prior
to the APPLET element and ignore what happens
after it.
The middle value aligns the middle of
the baseline for the current line of text.
The bottom value is the default and aligns
the bottom of the applet with the baseline.
The left value floats the applet to the
current left margin, temporarily changing this
margin, so that subsequent text is flowed along
the applet's right hand side. The rendering depends
on whether there is any left aligned text or
applets that appear earlier than the current applet
in the markup. Such text (but not applets) generally
forces left aligned applets to wrap to a new line,
with the subsequent text continuing on the
former line.
The right value floats the applet to float
current right margin, temporarily changing this
margin, so that subsequent text is flowed along
the image's left hand side. The rendering depends
on whether there is any right aligned text or
applets that appear earlier than the current image
in the markup. Such text (but not applets) generally
forces right aligned applets to wrap to a new line,
with the subsequent text continuing on the
former line.
|
HSPACE |
number of pixels |
This can be used to provide white space to the
immediate left and right of the applet. The
HSPACE attribute sets the width of this
white space in pixels. By default the HSPACE
value is a small non-zero number.
|
VSPACE |
number of pixels |
This can be used to provide white space above and
below the applet. The VSPACE attribute sets
the height of this white space in pixels. By default
the VSPACE value is a small non-zero number.

NOTES
|
- The code, width, and height attributes are ALL required
- Start AND End tags are required
