4. What about browsers that do not support Java?

When an <img> tag is placed within an applet, it is ignored, unless the browser does not support Java. This feature can thus be used to diplay an image rather than have a blank area on the page.

An example appears below:

<!--applet starts here------------------------------------------>
  <APPLET
    CODEBASE="."
    CODE="hm.class"
    NAME="HotMedia"
    ARCHIVE="hm.zip"
    WIDTH=239
    HEIGHT=50>
    <PARAM NAME="mvrfile" value="data/sample.mvr">
      <IMG SRC="Image_for_no_Java.gif">
  </APPLET>
<!--applet ends here------------------------------------------>

 

The following example includes the HREF tag, which allows the user to click on the image and go somewhere else:

<!--applet starts here------------------------------------------>
  <APPLET
    CODEBASE="."
    CODE="hm.class"
    NAME="HotMedia"
    ARCHIVE="hm.zip"
    WIDTH=239
    HEIGHT=50>
    <PARAM NAME="mvrfile" value="data/sample.mvr">
      <A HREF="Link_for_no_Java.htm">
      <IMG SRC="Image_for_no_Java.gif">
      </A>
  </APPLET>
<!--applet ends here------------------------------------------>
