Java Applet
What is a Java Applet?
An applet is a program written in the Java programming
language that can be included in an HTML page, much
in the same way an image is included. When you use a
Java technology-enabled browser to view a page that
contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred
to your system and executed by the browser's Java Virtual
Machine (JVM).
