Swing applets

How can running the swing-applet in the website

newbie eh? here's a tip, you should do some searching on forums and "Ask the
Pros" in www.devx.com and you'll be surprise at the number of times this
question has been asked.

anyway, to answer you, in order for browsers to execute a swing applet, you
need to change the html a bit, so that the browser will go look for something
Java Plug-in 1.2 or 1.3. You don't have to manually change it, just go to
java.sun.com and search for HTML Converter. The plug-in itself is about 5-7
MBs (forgot) so I'd really discourage you from putting swing applets on your
website, unless your viewers don't mind the big download.

To put a swing applet into html, you have to use a nested <embed> and <object>
tag instead of the <applet> tag
because swing applets need the java plug-in.

does that mean I don't need to use the lug-in if I use the object tag? if
I still need to include the plug-in link in the HTML, then using object or
applet doesn't seem to make any difference.
