A Java applet is an applet delivered to the users in the form of Java bytecode. Java applets can run in a Web browser using a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), or in Sun's AppletViewer, a stand-alone tool for testing applets. Java applets were introduced in the first version of the Java language in 1995. Java applets are usually written in the Java programming language but they can also be written in other languages that compile to Java bytecode such as Jython.

Applets are used to provide interactive features to web applications that cannot be provided by HTML. Since Java's bytecode is platform independent, Java applets can be executed by browsers for many platforms, including Windows, Unix, Mac OS and Linux. There are open source tools like applet2app which can be used to convert an applet to a stand alone Java application/windows executable/linux executable. This has the advantage of running a Java applet in offline mode without the need for internet browser software.

Many influential Java developers, blogs and magazines are recommending that the Java Web Start technology be used in place of Applets .

A Java Servlet is sometimes informally compared to be "like" a server-side applet, but it is different in its language, functions, and in each of the characteristics described here about applets.

A. I quote this from Adobe site: "Use the WMODE parameter to allow layering of Flash content with DHTML layers. The WMODE parameter can be 'window' (default), 'opaque', or 'transparent'. Using a WMODE value of 'opaque' or 'transparent' will prevent a Flash movie from playing in the topmost layer and allow you to adjust the layering of the movie within other layers of the HTML document." Full version of this article can be found in the first link. The second link shows the working sample of the solution.

A. If java is launching your games, it will show the coffee cup logo while loading. Go to start button, settings, go to control panel open Internet Options, advance tab, uncheck the 2 javas listed. Make sure JIT is checked, click apply then ok. This lets MSN VN launch games. This will speed up game loading time! I play games about every night with no problems using these settings. If you don t have MSN VM, get it here: virtualserver/default.msp x
