applet HTML Tag

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:
