Using the Applet Viewer

• In addition to running the applet using a web browser such as Internet Explorer, you can view it using the "appletviewer" program that comes with the JDK. You can view an applet by executing a command such as:

  > appletviewer hello.html
  

• Notice that we run appletviewer on the HTML file, not the applet itself. The appletviewer program looks for the applet tag in the HTML file you give it to determine what to display. It will not display the HTML around the applet, just the applet itself.
