<applet>: The Embed Java Applet element - HTML: HyperText Markup Language 编辑

Obsolete

This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

The <applet> element was removed in Gecko 56 and Chrome 47.

Removal is being considered in WebKit and Edge.

The obsolete HTML Applet Element (<applet>) embeds a Java applet into the document; this element has been deprecated in favor of <object>.

Use of Java applets on the Web is deprecated; most browsers no longer support use of plug-ins, including the Java plug-in.

Attributes

align

This attribute is used to position the applet on the page relative to content that might flow around it. The HTML 4.01 specification defines values of bottom, left, middle, right, and top, whereas Microsoft and Netscape also might support absbottom, absmiddle, baseline, center, and texttop.

alt

This attribute causes a descriptive text alternate to be displayed on browsers that do not support Java. Page designers should also remember that content enclosed within the <applet> element may also be rendered as alternative text.

archive

This attribute refers to an archived or compressed version of the applet and its associated class files, which might help reduce download time.

code

This attribute specifies the URL of the applet's class file to be loaded and executed. Applet filenames are identified by a .class filename extension. The URL specified by code might be relative to the codebase attribute.

codebase

This attribute gives the absolute or relative URL of the directory where applets' .class files referenced by the code attribute are stored.

datafld

This attribute, supported by Internet Explorer 4 and higher, specifies the column name from the data source object that supplies the bound data. This attribute might be used to specify the various <param> elements passed to the Java applet.

datasrc

Like datafld, this attribute is used for data binding under Internet Explorer 4. It indicates the id of the data source object that supplies the data that is bound to the <param> elements associated with the applet.

height

This attribute specifies the height, in pixels, that the applet needs.

hspace

This attribute specifies additional horizontal space, in pixels, to be reserved on either side of the applet.

mayscript

In the Netscape implementation, this attribute allows access to an applet by programs in a scripting language embedded in the document.

name

This attribute assigns a name to the applet so that it can be identified by other resources; particularly scripts.

object

This attribute specifies the URL of a serialized representation of an applet.

src

As defined for Internet Explorer 4 and higher, this attribute specifies a URL for an associated file for the applet. The meaning and use is unclear and not part of the HTML standard.

vspace

This attribute specifies additional vertical space, in pixels, to be reserved above and below the applet.

width

This attribute specifies in pixels the width that the applet needs.

Example

HTML

<applet code="game.class" align="left" archive="game.zip" height="250" width="350">
  <param name="difficulty" value="easy">
  <b>Sorry, you need Java to play this game.</b>
</applet>

Specifications

Browser compatibility

BCD tables only load in the browser

Notes

The W3C specification does not encourage the use of <applet> and prefers the use of the <object> element. Under the strict definition of HTML 4.01, this element is deprecated and entirely obsolete in HTML5.
