• Applets begin execution via the loading of a HTML page "containing them"
  
  
• Either the appletviewer or a Web browser is required to run Applets
  
  
• Browser detects an Applet by processing an <Applet> HTML tag
  
  
• The HTML tag syntax is:
  
  

  <APPLET CODE="..." 
  
  WIDTH="..." HEIGHT="..."
  
  [CODEBASE="..." 
  
  ALT="..." NAME="..."
  
  ALIGN=left | right | top | 
  
  VSPACE="..." HSPACE="..." ]>
  
  
  
  [<PARAM NAME="..." VALUE="...">]
  
  
  
  [Text for non-Java supporting browsers]
  
  
  
  </APPLET >
