HTML applet Tag

by Online Tutorials Library

HTML <applet> tag (Not supported in HTML5)

HTML <applet> tag was used to embed the Java applet in an HTML document. This element has been deprecated in HTML 4.0 and instead of it we can use <object> and newly added element <embed>.

The use of Java applet is also deprecated, and most browsers do not support the use of plugins.

Note: The <applet> tag is deprecated in HTML4.0 and not supported in HTML5. So you can use <object> tag or <embed> tag instead of <applet>.
