Putting Java applets into your webpage is easy. You only have to use a simple tag, the <applet> tag. There is another tag you can use for parameters of the applet, the <param> tag, but that's optional. There are a few attributes for the <applet> tag, which are simple to use.
      First we have the code= attribute. It acts very similar to the famil r src= attribute; you put the name of the file that contains the Java applet, typically with the extension ".class".
      Next there are the height= and width= attributes. Values are in pixels, and they do exactly what they're named for.
      How do you use Java and JavaScript together? Use the mayscript attribute in the <applet> tag. This value-less attribute allows the applet to use JavaScript values.
      Our fourth attribute is the name= attribute. This name is optional, but is used for internal use. erhaps there are applets that interact with each other and need to know the other bye name. That is what this attribute allows you to define.
      The codebase= attribute is optional, but useful. This attribute is the name of the directory wehere the .class file is located. It makes it a bit easier to locate the applet.
      The alt= attribute is familiar. You enter, after quota on marks, a string of text you want displayed if the browser cannot use Java. Another attribute similar to ones for the <img> tag is the align= attribute. The usual values of left, center, right e used. This specifies the alignmnet of the Java applet.

JavaScript is a wonderful language that can produce much more interaction and dynamic affects than HTML could ever dream of. So how do you incorporate this versatile language? By using the <script> tag, silly!
      The <script> tag is easier to use than the <applet> tag. For one thing, there are two ways to incorporate JavaScipt code into your HTMl file. u can either place the JavaScript code between the <script> tag and its endtag, or you can link to a seperate file that contains the code.
      But first let's talk about attributes. There are only two here, the ont face=courier>language= attribtue and the src= attribute. The language= attribute allows you to specify to the browser that you are using JavaScript as your scripting language. This attribute as introduced in anticipation of scripting languages to come. But right now, all you have to do is put in the value "javascript". The src= attribute allows you to link to a different file that contains the JavaScript code. If y do decide to outsource, the filename should end in the extension ".js".
      But what if you don't want to outsource and want to include the JavaScript statements along with the rest of the HTML? Well, you put the code in between the start and end tag of the <script> tag, like so:

Wouldn't it be great if you could lay down rules to completely make your page look consistent? Such as having the same font everywhere, the same size, having all horizontal rules at 80%, and such. Well, your dreams have come true! With the latest and greatest addition to the HTML 4.0 standard, Cascading Style Sheets. Essentially, you can code in the properties to be displayed for each element, e ry time that element is featured. Style sheets allow you to add consistency to your page.
      So how do you put stylesheets into your page? There are two methods, using the <style> tag or the <link> tag. When you use the <style> tag, you include the style code with all the other HTML code. The <link> tag allows you to link to an external file that has the style code.
      The <script> tag delimits an area of your source code as style information. All the style code goes in between the <style> start tag and its end tag. There is only one attribute for this tag, the type= attribute. The only value avalible at this time "text/css". You would use this tag as shown:

Now now, don't let SunMicrosystems and Netscape have all the fun. Welcome to the Internet gang Microsoft, with their contender ActiveX. This is an extremely versatile language with capabilities and function similar to Java, but with some added features. So how do you use it, pray tell? With the <object> tag. This tag is very similar to the <applet> tag, and it even has its own lackey tag, the <param> tag (go loyal help is hard to find).
      Firstly we have to talk about attributes. First on the list is the classid= attribute. It simply is the name of the component, which is set by you or the Act eX object. It's not whatever you want. That is handled by the id= attribute. This is similar to the name attribute of the <applet> tag. The id of the ActiveX component is used for internal purpos of other ActiveX components or HTML elelments.
      The height= and width= attributes are well known to you. Values are either pixels or percentages, and both defined their respective dimension of the ActiveX component. Finally, we have the align= attribute, also quite well known.
