HTML applet Tag

The information on this page is based on HTML version 4.01 (which is the current version of HTML). The next version, HTML 5, is currently being written. Here's a list of HTML 5 tags.

The HTML applet tag is used for embedding a Java applet within an HTML document.

The applet tag is deprecated in HTML 4.01 and is not supported in XHTML (strict DTD) or HTML 5. Use the HTML object tag instead.
