How to add java applets to a website

Type the code into html,  <APPLET CODE = "NameofClass.class" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT = 100></APPLET>

Then store all the class files into the same directory as your web files.

 

What is a java applet?

Java Applet runs on web browsers, it's very similar to swing applications. The differences are, instead of extending JFrame class, applets extend the JApplet class. In JFrame, the space of a window is managed by the host operating system's window system and in applet, the space of the window is manage by the browser.
 

Here are the two methods that are called automatically by the applet:

init();

paint();

We will see examples on both, lets start with an example on init().

 

 

As we can see from the above example, Applets are very similar from GUI, the only difference is it doesn't need a main method. Now lets see an example on how to use the paint() method to pain in applet.

 

 

Now lets see an example that we used in the Swing chapter, then we can see how similar JApplet and swings are. If we know one then we know both.
