Web design has moved to the next level with the introduction of java technology in the computing and programming industry. This introduction has made a tremendous impact in the capabilities and functionalities of web pages. Now using not only HTML codes but java scripts and java applets, more inter-activities and functionalities can be added to web pages.This seminar paper looks at what a java applet is, how to write applet codes And how to deploy them on web pages.

This seminar paper discusses the basics of applets, how to deploy them. These applets interact richly with their environment.An applet is a special type of java program that a browser enabled with java technology can download from the internet and run. An applet must be a sub class of the java. applet. Applet class. The applet class provides the standard interface between the applet and the browser environment. Swing provides a special sub class of the Applet class called javax. Swing. JApplet. The JApplet class should be used for all applets that use the swing components to construct their graphical user interface.

The browser’s java plug-in software manages the life cycle of an applet.Most of today’s browsers can run java applets. The ones that cannot run are not of much importance since very few users have such outdated browsers. To be more precise, applets can be embedded in pages viewed by netcape2 and newer versions, internet explore 3 and newer version, and others. However, some people have turned off the ability to run applets in their web browsers. These in most cases are companies with more or less paranoid ideas of potential hacking.
