The tag is used to embed the java applet into any HTML document. It contains the attributes that identify the applet to be displayed and give the web browser hints about how it should be displayed.
Note: The tag is deprecated in HTML 4.0 and not supported in HTML 5. So you can use the tag or tag instead of the tag.
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
Syntax:
The tag has both opening tag and closing tag. The content is written between these two tags.
The use of Java applets is now deprecated as most browsers no longer support the use of plug-ins , including the Java plug-in. But some browsers still support the tag with some additional plug-in.
Sample of the HTML Tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Applet Tag in HTML</title>
</head>

<applet code="game.class" align="center" archive="game.zip" height="250" width="350">
<param name="difficulty" value="easy">
