<PARAM> Tags and Applets

The applet tag can be followed by parameters:

<APPLET . . . >

<PARAM NAME=attributename1 VALUE="attributevalue1" >

. . .

<PARAM NAME=attributenameN VALUE="attributevalueN" >

</APPLET>

The Java program accesses this information by, e.g.

String attribute;

attribute = getParameter("attributename1");

if (attribute == null ) // null is Java way of saying “unset”

attribute = defaultvalue ;

Typically in init() method of Applet.
