the network.

Ways to run a Java Applet

To run a Applet we need one of the following


tools:
1. A java Enable Web browser(such as Hotjava
or Netscape).
2. Java Applet Viewer.
[Link] Applet on a Web Browser

If we use a Java enable web


browser such as Hotjava or
Netscape we will see the entire
web page containing the applet.
[Link] Applet on a Java Appletviewer

If we use the applet viewer tool,we will only see the


applet [Link] is to be noticed that appletviewer
is not a full-fledged web browser therefore it
ignores all of the HTML tags except the part
pertaining to the running of the applet.
