Web page design

Web page design
  • A static webpage can be designed using HTML.
  • HTML file consist of Tag and text. Tags are written between < and > symbol, in order to distinguished it form the text.
  • the basic structure of the HTML file is given below:

Applet tag:

-Web documents are written in Hyper Text Markup Language(HTML). HTML uses tags to describe the structure of  web document.
 -Tags are used to identify heading, paragraphs, and lists, as well as other elements of web page such as link, images, forms and applets.
-Applet are displayed as a part of a web page using the HTML tag <APPLET>.
-Once an applet has been compiled, is included in an HTML file using the APPLET tag. The applet will be executed by a java-enabled web browser when it encounters the APPLET tag within the HTML file.
-Applet tag is used to add the applet into HTML page.
-The syntax for the standard applet tag is shown here.

  • EXAMPLE:

  • Adding Applet to HTML file
- An applet is like a child application of the browser. The browser launches the applet in a predefined environment inside the browser.
- An applet can be added to HTML file using <APPLET> tag.
- The applet tag provide all the information needed to launch the applet.
Running the Applet
  • There are two ways in which you can run applet:
1. Using Java-compatible web browser.
2. Using applet viewer.
 1. Using Java-compatible web browser.
- To execute an applet in a web browser, you need to write a short HTML text file that contains the appropriate APPLET tag.
- Here is HTML file that executes MyApplet:
2. Using Applet viewer:
- JDK provides a utility called "appletviewer.exe" for testing applet.
- To execute MyApplet with an applet viewer, you need ti execute the HTML file using applet viewer.
- For example, if the preceding HTML file is called RunApp.html, then the following command line will run MyApplet:
- C:\>appletviewer RunApp.html
- Applet viewer processes only the <applet> tag, and ignores all other rags in the HTML file.
Passing parameter to applet:
- It is possible to pass parameter to an applet program, from HTML file.
- In order t pass parameter to Applet program from HTML page, we need to use <PARAM > tag.
- The general sysntax of PARAM tag is given below:
<PARAM NAME=parameter_name VALUE=parameter_value>
- Complete sysntax for the APPLET tag including PARAM tag:

EXAMPLE:
Various methods to develop basic applet:
METHOD
DESCRIPTION
void setBackground(Color colorName)
To set the background of an applet window
void setForeground(Color colorName)
To set the foreground of an applet window
Color getBackground()
To obtain the current setting for the background color
Color getForeground()
To obtain the setting for the foreground color
Applet getApplet(String name)
O obtain the applet specified by giben name form the current applet context
void showStatus(String status)
To display the status massage in the status bar of applet window
URL getDocumnetBase()
To obtain the directory of the current browser page
URL getCodeBase()
To obtain the directory from which the applet’s class file was loaded
