Applets Code Samples

Print-friendly Version

Applets are small programs that run in a Java platform-enabled browser. The small program is embedded in a web page, and might connect to a server-side technology such as a J2EE server. However, because major browsers have not kept up with the latest releases of the Java 2 platform, you can either create applets with the JDK 1.1 API or use the Java Plug-in solution.
