Solaris Java Plug-in User's Guide

Summary

This document describes the OBJECT tag and EMBED tag styles used by Java Plug-in. It focuses on the conversion from an APPLET tag to the OBJECT and EMBED tags. Currently, HTML 4.0 suggests that the OBJECT tag is the best way to insert Java applets and JavaBeans components into a HTML page. This document will be updated in the near future should there be a need to convert the OBJECT tag to the Java Plug-in tag style. Information disclosed in this document is intended to assist ISVs for writing HTML migration tools and to assist webmasters with Java Plug-in migration. The tag style described in this document is subject to change in the future.

Note that the use of Java Plug-in is not limited to the tag styles described in this document. In fact, webmasters are encouraged to modify the tag style or mix the tag with JavaScript to fit their needs. As long as the described OBJECT tag is used in Internet Explorer and EMBED tag is used in Netscape Navigator browsers, there should be no problems running Java Plug-in. Currently, there are several conversion templates shipped with the Java Plug-in HTML converter. Webmasters may find one template better than others for their needs, and are encouraged to modify these templates themselves if necessary.
