Applet Tag by Example
Here is an example of the code we could use to place the Hello applet we created previously in a web page:
<APPLET WIDTH = "200" HEIGHT = "100"
CODE = "Hello.class">
</APPLET>
Notice that we gave the applet a specific width and height.
For an applet to appear, you must give it a specific width and height.
If you don't want an applet to display (such as when your applet creates a popup frame right away), you can give it a width and height of 0:
<APPLET WIDTH = "0" HEIGHT = "0"
CODE = "HelloAwtApplet.class">
</APPLET>
However, normally you will want your applet to appear.
In our case, we want the applet to be 200 by 100 pixels.
Here is a full example of an HTML page we could use to display our Hello applet example.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
The Hello applet appears below:
<P>
<APPLET WIDTH = "200" HEIGHT = "100"
CODE = "HelloAwtApplet.class">
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>
