How to code the HTML page for an applet

The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the language that's used to create web pages.
Each HTML tag begins with the tag name and ends with the tag name prefixed by a forward slash.
Within a tag, you can set the attributes for the tag.
Although HTML isn't case-sensitive, the name of the Java applet class is.

This applet requires version 1.5 or later of Java.

      <!-- If the browser can't display the applet, display this HTML -->
      <p>This applet requires version 1.5 or later of Java.</p>
    </applet>
  </body>
</html>
