Java Disabled Browsers

Classic programmed-learning exercises, refreshed for modern Java and presented in the current MrStyner.com portfolio style.

Modern Java noteThis archive has been refreshed for Java 25 LTS. Core language concepts remain useful, while outdated setup instructions and browser-era Java are labeled or replaced. Java 26 is the current feature release; Java 25 is used here as the stable teaching baseline.
Historical topic: Java appletsModern web browsers do not run Java applets. The Applet API was deprecated for removal before Java 25 and was removed in Java 26. Treat applet examples on this page as historical object-oriented/GUI examples; for new desktop interfaces use Swing where appropriate or JavaFX/OpenJFX.

Answer:

Your browser formats (lays out in pretty fashion) all the information in the Web page. It needs to know the size of the applet area to do this.

Java Disabled Browsers

If you wish to display a message to people who have disabled their browser from running Java, put a few lines of text between the tags: 

<applet code="MyApplet.class" width="250" height="200">
<p>
If you see this, your browser does not have Java applets enabled.
</p>
</applet>

Sometimes individuals or companies disable Java applets out of security concerns.

Note: Officially in the latest version of HTML applets are included in a Web page using an <object> tag. But this tag is not widely supported, so for now use the <applet> tag.

QUESTION 3:

Can data (such as text) and executable programs (such as Java bytecodes) both be be transmitted over the Internet?
