Applet A Java program which can be distributed as an attachment in a World-Wide Web document and executed a Java-enabled web browser such as Sun's HotJava or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or later. Navigator severely restricts the applet's file system and network access in order to prevent accidental or deliberate security violations. Full Java applications, which run outside of the browser, do not have these restrictions. Web browsers can also be extended with plug-ins though these differ from applets in that they usually require manual installation and are platform-specific. Various other languages can now be embedded within HTML documents, the most common being JavaScript. Despite Java's aim to be a "write once, run anywhere" language, the difficulty of accomodating the variety of browsers in use on the Internet has led many to abandon client-side processing in favour of server-side Java programs for which the term servlet was coined.

Specialty Definition: Applet

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

An applet is a small program that runs in the context of a larger program on a client computer. This usually refers to Java applets, which run in a browser. A similar program on a server is called a servlet.

Macromedia Flash is another widespread applet nowadays that provides motion graphics, interaction and sound.
