An Applet is a program that can be included in an HTML page, much in the same way an image is included. When you use a browser to view a page that contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred to your system and executed by the browser. Applets are intended to enhance your browsing experience by enabling you to view information in a unique manner or enable access to information that your computer would otherwise be unable to access without the applet.
