Used in
applet_content
The
<param>
tag has no content and, with HTML, no end tag. It appears,
perhaps with other
<param>
tags, only between an
<object>
or
<applet>
tag and its end tag. Use the
<param>
tag to pass parameters to the em-
bedded object, such as a Java applet, as required for it to function cor-
rectly.
12.2.2.1. The id, name, and value attributes
The
<param>
tag has two required attributes:
name
or
id
, and
value
. You've
seen these attributes before with forms. Together, they define a name/
value pair that the browser passes to the applet.
