<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

• String attribute;

• attribute = getParameter("attributename1");

• if( attribute == null )

• attribute = yourdefaultvalue;

• // null is Java way of saying unset

• Typically this processing would be in init() method of Applet
