Outline
Applets versus Applications
What is an applet? See also: Q4.7, Q4.24, JavaSoft's Security FAQ web page
How do applets differ from applications? See also: Q4.3, Q4.16, JavaSoft's Security FAQ
Can I write Java code that works both as an applet and as a stand-alone application? See also: Q3.1, Q4.16, Q4.17, Q4.18, Q4.20, Q11.8, JavaSoft's Security FAQ
Installing Applets
How do I put an applet into a web page? See also: Q4.7
Can I put more than one applet in a web page? See also: Q4.20
How do I use the APPLET tag if I want to show users of non-Java-enabled browsers what they're missing?
What is the complete syntax for using the APPLET tag? See also: the applet TAG page
What are the different pieces that can make up an applet, and how do I install them?
Where can I put my applet's class files, and how do I indicate their location using the APPLET tag?
Can I put my reusable custom classes in a special place so that many different applets can use them?
Applet User Interface
How do I determine the width and height of my applet? See also: Q5.1
How do I set the background color within the applet area?
How can I create a transparent background for my applet? See also: Q8.7
Can I put menus and a menu bar on my applet?
I know that cursors can be changed from within frames, but how do I change the cursor in my applet? ChangeCursorExample.html, ChangeCursor11Example.html See also: Q5.14
Applet Program Structure
Several applet methods seem special, in that I need to define them even if my own code doesn't invoke them -- what are the methods, and when (and by whom) are they invoked? See also: Q4.17, Q4.18, Q8.1, Q8.5
Should applets have constructors?
How can my applet tell when a user leaves or returns to the web page containing my applet? See also: Q4.16, Q4.17, Q9.2, Q9.3
How do I read number information from my applet's parameters, given that Applet's getParameter method returns
a String?
NumericalParametersExample.html See also: Q10.4
Applet Communication
How can I arrange for different applets on a web page to communicate with each other? See also: Q4.7
How do I select a URL from my applet and send the browser to that page? See also: Q10.14
Can applets on different pages communicate with each other? See also: Q4.20
Miscellaneous
Can I load an applet dynamically into a Java application, and if so, how does the applet get the parameter information it would normally get from the APPLET tag?
Do I need any special server software or setup to deliver applets? See also: Q4.1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
