applet HTML: Main Tips

  • The <applet> HTML used to embed Java applets into HTML files.
  • For embedding Java applet, HTML no longer recommends using the <applet> element.
  • Better options to learn how to use Java in HTML include <object> and <embed> elements.

How applet Was Used

The <applet> HTML element adds a Java applet to an HTML document. In the following example, Java applet draws a chess game:

Example
<applet code="chess.class">
  <p>You need Java to enjoy this game.<p>
</applet>

Warning: do not use this element for incorporating Java applet: HTML 5 removed this element and offers <object> and <embed> as alternatives.
