Programs written in the Java programming language that can be included in an HTML page, much in the same way an image is included. When you use a Java technology-enabled browser to view a page that contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred to the visitors system and executed by the browser's Java Virtual Machine.
Binary files downloaded to a file and executed by a browser.
An applet is a program written in the Java programming language that can be included in a web page. When a Java enabled web browser views a page containing an applet, the code is executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

An outside application built in the Java programming language that allows a Web page to have animation, make calculations and other high-level functionality.
Netscape Navigator 2.0 supports Java applets which are powerful and secure interactive objects created in a web-optimized language. Java applets can enable animation, live updating, and two-way interaction.
programs written in the programming language, Java. The applets are downloaded to client machines. These applets then execute on a user's machine. (p. 38)
Mini programs that run on a Web page or a Web site to perform complicated tasks.
Java Applets are small programs embedded in HTML pages, which can be run automatically upon opening the HTML page in question. Virus writers can take advantage of this situation to carry out attacks on other systems. In many cases, it is possible to avoid this type of attacks by configuring the browser's security settings to "high".
Small Java programs used on Web pages to operate animation, calculators, and other tasks.
small programs written in the Java programming language that can be embedded into web pages. Search engines can not run Java applets. Consequently, if navigation or content is embedded in a Java applet, it will be invisible to the search engines and will not get indexed. See also: ASP, ColdFusion, JavaScript, PHP, Sniffer Script
