Two ways to run a Java applet
Run Netscape 2.0 or later or Internet Explorer essentially anywhere, point the browser at MyApplet.html, and applet is downloaded from the webserver and run by Java interpreter built into the browser. This requires that the .html and .class files are located in the document space of the web server.
Or, primarily for debugging purposes, if you have JDK on your machine, you can run the applet with a program called the appletviewer:
- appletviewer MyApplet.html
This way we can compile on places with JDK installed but run almost anywhere!
