Subject:Re: Re: Java: Text in applet tag

Thread:


Here's some docs from SUN.  Things are a bit muddled at SUN these days...

You use the applet tag to deploy applets to a multi-browser environment.

For complete details on the applet tag, read the W3 HTML specification.

Note: The HTML specification states that the applet tag is deprecated, and that 
you should use the object tag instead. However, the specification is vague about 
how browsers should implement the object tag to support Java applets, and 
browser support is currently inconsistent. Sun therefore recommends that you 
continue to use the applet tag as a consistent way to deploy Java applets across 
browsers on all platforms.

Following is an example of the applet tag:

     <applet code=Applet1.class width="200" height="200">
     Your browser does not support the <code>applet</code> tag.
     </applet>

For both Internet Explorer and the Mozilla family of browsers, if Java Plug-in 
is installed (version 1.3.1_01a or later) then the highest installed version of 
Java Plug-in is invoked to run the applet.
