You use the
embed
tag to deploy applets that are to be used only with the Mozilla family of browsers.Following is an example of the
embed
tag:<embed code="Applet1.class" width="200" height="200" type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.6.0" pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads"/>The
type
attribute can have one of two forms:
type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.6.0"
With this form, the highest installed JRE that supports the MIME type
is invoked to run the applet. If a JRE with a version number equal to or greater than the version number specified is installed locally, then that JRE is invoked. Otherwise the user is directed to the URL specified as the value of the pluginspage attribute and prompted to download and install the required JRE.application/x-java-applet;version=1.6.0
type="application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_01
With this form, a JRE with the exact version given by the the value of
jpi-version
(in this example, 1.6.0_01) is invoked to run the applet. Otherwise the user is directed to the URL specified as the value of the pluginspage attribute and prompted to download and install the required JRE.
