their tutorials on Applets. I wrote to them because their tutorial says to use the <APPLET> tag when embedding applets in an HTML document. The HTML 4.01 Specification, says this tag is deprecated in favor of the <OBJECT> tag. Sun's response indicates that the HTML 4.01 Specification is incorrect and that the <APPLET> tag is not deprecated. Who is right? I have included both original messages below but have taken out the names ~Jeff ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun wrote: The w3 site is incorrect. The APPLET tag is not deprecated. I suggest you refer to the Java Plug-in guide as the most recent and accurate resource on this. We are in the process of updating the applet tutorial. You can find the guide here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/contents.html You can see that chapter 3 discusses the APPLET and OBJECT tags. Regards, the Jnava Tutorial ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff wrote: On the W3C Site: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/objects.html#h-13.4 it says, APPLET is deprecated (with all its attributes) in favor of OBJECT. Your tutorial on Applets, Trail: Writing Applets http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/overview/test.html suggests using <APPLET> which is deprecated. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
