Hello World - Applet (AWT) & <object> tag

by Michael Thomas

(Tutorial Home Page)

• The source.

• Browsers - Need IE5.5 or NS 6.0 or higher because I'm using the <object> tag which replaces the <applet> tag in HTML 4.0 specs.  The browser needs the attribute: classid = "java: <classname>"

• Appletviewer - to make the appletviewer work I had to add the attribute: code="<classname>".  I'm sure Sun will fix that in a future release.
