<PARAM ...>
NAME : name of the parameter | |
VALUE : value of the parameter |
Parameters are how you give details about how an applet should run. You use <PARAM ...>
to communicate parameters. For example, if you want to tell MyApplet what text to display, you use the TEXT parameter.
this code |
produces this |
<APPLET CODE="MyApplet.class" HEIGHT=50 WIDTH=100>
<PARAM NAME=TEXT VALUE="Hey Dude">
</APPLET>
|
|
The <PARAM ...>
tag in the above example simply says TEXT="Hey Dude". This method of assigning a name with one attribute and a value with another is a way of bridging the gap between the worlds of HTML and Java.
Here's what each piece means:
<PARAM
- This is a parameter to pass to MyApplet.
NAME=TEXT
- The name of the parameter to pass is "TEXT"
VALUE="Hey Dude"
- The value of the "TEXT" parameter is "Hey Dude".
