</applet>

This is a complex call to an Applet which displays rotating banner advertisements.

<applet code="Lake.class" width="434" height="268">
  <param name="image" value="image1.jpg" border="0">
  <param name="href" value="http://www.viperspit.com/lake.html">
</applet>

This is a simpler example, showing a call to the Lake applet. If you would like to see an example of this applet in action, see Ring Of Lake Applets Webring.

Tips:

  1. Use the HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes so the proper size box is pre-displayed. This is also useful if your visitor's browser does not support Java.

  2. Use ALT to include a description of the applet if their browser does not support Java.
