Java applets were introduced by Sun in 1995.
Applets are used to provide interactive features to web applications that can not be provided by HTML. They are executed in a sandbox by most web browsers, preventing them from accessing local data. The code of the applet is downloaded from a web server and the browser either embeds the applet into a web page or opens a new window showing the applet's user interface. The applet is displayed on the web page by making use of the HTML element applet. This specifies the applet's source and the applet's location statistics. The applet's location cannot be controlled by Cascading Style Sheets.
Since Java's bytecode is platform independent, Java applets can be executed by browsers for many platforms, including Windows, Unix, MacOS and LinuxThis article is about Linux-based operating systems, GNU/Linux, and related topics. See Linux kernel for the kernel itself. See Linux (washing powder) for the Swiss brand of washing powder. Tux, a plump penguin, is the official Linux mascot Linux is the n.
For applets to be compliant with MS Windows operating systemIn computing, an operating system OS is the system software responsible for the direct control and management of hardware and basic system operations, as well as running application software such as word processing programs and web browsers. In general, ts, applet code has to be developed using Java compatible with Microsoft JVMA Java virtual machine or JVM is a virtual machine that runs Java byte code. This code is most often generated by Java compilers, although the JVM has also been targeted by compilers of other languages. The (JVM) is a crucial component of the Java platfor or else the object tag can be used to ensure that a more modern JVM has been downloaded and installed from Sun.
