The <applet> element is currently not in HTML5. Anecdotally, however, <applet> enjoys better cross-browser support than <object>. Testing browser support for four embedding schemes would be useful in order to gather data to back a decision about whether <applet> should be in HTML5: * Java applet embedded using <applet> * Java applet embedded using <embed> * Java applet embedded using <object> with only attributes that HTML5 currently allows * Java applet embedded using <object> with ActiveX attributes I'm not enough of an applet fan to test this myself, so I'm suggesting that someone who actually needs Java applets to work easily picks up the research item. :-) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
