Java Applets on Mac

Java Applets on Mac

In order to embed Java applets on a web page that works on IE or Netscape on both Windows, Linux and Mac machines, use HtmlConverter that comes with JDK with -gui option. First, specify the applet class in the web page.


   <applet code="Raceme.class" width=700 height=400> </applet>

Then convert the .html file with the following command.


   HtmlConverter -gui

Set the directory that contains the .html file. Select Extended(Standard + All Browsers/Platforms) option from the Template File: drop-down list.

Now the applet will run on both Windows and Linux machines and Mac (click here for the above example). Let's enjoy the cross-platform freedom! Happy programming!
