Applets

An applet is a little program designed to be executed from within another larger program , often as a plug-in.However , it doesn't function like an application which the applet cannot be executed directly from the Operation System(OS). On the Web,using java, the object-oriented program language, an applet is a small program that can be sent along with a web page to a user.Because applets are small in files size, cross-platform compatible, and highly secure (can't be used to access users' hard drives), they are ideal for small Internet applications accessible from a browser.
