Adding applets with applet
The applet
element is
a container for any number of parameter (param
) elements. The following is an example
of how an applet
element for a game
might look:
<applet codebase=class code="Wacky.class" width="300" height="400"> <param name="Delay" value="250" /> <param name="Time" value="120" /> <param name="PlaySounds" value="YES" /> </applet>
The applet
element contains a
number of standard attributes:
-
code
Tells the browser which applet will be used. Applets end with the suffix .class or .jar. This attribute is required.
-
codebase
This tells the browser in which directory to find the applets. If the applets are in the same directory as the page, the
codebase
attribute is not necessary.width
,height
These specify the pixel dimensions of the “window” the applet will occupy. These attributes are required for the Java applet to function properly.
The applet
element may also
use many of the same attributes used for images, such as alt
for providing alternative text if the
applet cannot be displayed, and presentational attributes such as
align
(for positioning the applet
in the flow of text), and hspace/vspace
(used in conjunction with
align
).
Special parameters for the applet are provided by any number of
parameter elements (sometimes there are none). The param
element always contains the name of
the parameter (name
) and its value
(value
). Parameters provide special settings and controls that are specific to the particular applet, so you need to follow the parameter ...
