HTML <applet> Tag
The HTML <applet> tag is not supported in HTML5. To embed the Java applet in an HTML document, the HTML <applet> tag was used, but was deprecated in HTML 4.0. The HTML <object> and HTML <embed> elements are used in HTML 5 instead of the HTML <applet> tag. Along with the HTML <applet> tag, the use of Java applet is also deprecated. The use of plugins is not supported by most of the browsers nowadays.
