Most applets require one or more parameters that you supply in the doc-
ument to control their execution. Put these parameters between the
<ap-
plet>
tag and its corresponding
</applet>
end tag, using the
<param>
tag.
The browser will pass the document-specific parameters to the applet at
the time of execution. [
<param>, 12.2.2
]
The
<applet>
tag has been deprecated in the HTML 4 and XHTML stand-
ards in deference to the generalized
<object>
tag, which can do the same
as
<applet>
and much more. Nonetheless,
<applet>
is a popular tag and
remains supported by the popular browsers.
