While the term applet is sometimes used to describe small programs included with a computer's operating system, it usually refers to Java applets, or small applications written in the Java programming language. Unlike ordinary applications, Java applets cannot be run directly by the operating system.
The APPLET element is used to embed Java applets. It has been deprecated in HTML 4 in favor of the more generalized OBJECT element. However, since the few browsers that support OBJECT do so with significant bugs, APPLET is currently a more reliable method of embedding Java applets.
