<APPLET>

The <APPLET> Tag is used to run an applet, a "little" Java program. You have probably seen applets before, the most popular uses are LED Signs, text effects, scrolling effects, etc..

The Applet Tag usually runs a pre-compiled program on your server usually with a .class or .java extension, and is called by a CODE Reference.

For this example I'm going to use Autobahner Applet by Steve Bobach :

<applet code="autobahner"
	codebase="class" 
	align="baseline"
	width="420" 
	height="60">
<param name="String"
value="

As you can see, the parameter names won't make much sense since each applet has its own features and requirements. You should refer to the Applet's documentation for information.
