| What is a Java Applet and what does it do? | A Java Applet is a mini-program that can be placed on a Web Page and will execute independent of the platform being used and without the need of a special plug-in. As the files are normally quite compact and therefore load fairly quickly, they are ideally suited for use on the Web. They can be used very effectively for a number of interactive tasks, animations, games, utilities and multi-media effects, including navigation controls, scrolling text effects and image manipulation amongst a host of others. |
