Applets are
similar to applications, but they don't run standalone. Instead,
applets adhere to a set of conventions that lets them run within a
Java-compatible browser. They are embedded in HTML documents,
but they arrive as separate files to the client's computer.
JavaScript
was developed by Netscape and is a cousin to Java. Its set of
commands differ a bit from Java and have slightly different
implementations. It is important to know that JavaScript is
HTML-dependent. It must reside within an HTML file and
function within a Java-compatible, or Java-enabled, browser.

NOTE: The Java language is CASE SENSITIVE. This applies also to Java applets and JavaScript. |
