Default What's an applet, anyway?
I've never understood exactly what an applet was. Is it just a Java program, or part of a Java program? I've heard it used a lot but have yet to know what it is.

An applet is a java program that is meant to be run over the internet within a browser window. It has several restrictions for security reasons, such as not being allowed to write to the hard-drive of the computer it's being run on.

An applet is a piece of software made to be used in another program, ie. a web browser. Java and Flash "programs" [s]are the most[/s] some of the most popular examples of an applet.

So, an applet is basically a small application*.


*Note the simiar words.

Oh, now I understand why when I sometimes play Java games it says "applet loading".

An applet is a java application supposed to deliver GUI(graphical user interface), when integrated into a web browser. An applet cannot behave as a standalone application and is the only thing that has brought java the popularity it has today.
