Arbitrarily sophisticated dynamic multimedia applications inserts called Applets can be embedded in the regular HTML pages and activated on each exposure of a given page.

Applet constructs are implemented in terms of a
-
special HTML tag: <APPLET codebase="URL directory path" code="Java class file name" width=".." height=".." >
-
where the URL and class file name points to a chunk of server side software that is to be downloaded and executed at the client side on each presentation of a page containing this applet which executes in window specified in size by width and height in picxels.

Applets are written in Java -- a new general purpose object-oriented programming language from Sun Microsystems.
