12.3 Including Applets for the Java Plug In

277

title

This attribute is used identically to the very rarely used 

TITLE 

attribute of 

APPLET

 (and virtually all other HTML elements in 

HTML 4.0), specifying a title that could be used for a tool tip or 

for indexing.

jreversion

This attribute identifies the version of the Java Runtime 

Environment (JRE) that is required. The default is 1.1.

iepluginurl

This attribute designates a URL from which the plug in for 

Internet Explorer can be downloaded. Users who don't already 

have the plug in installed will be prompted to download it from 

this location. The default value will direct the user to the Sun 

site, but for intranet use you might want to direct the user to a 

local copy.

nspluginurl

This attribute designates a URL from which the plug in for 

Netscape can be downloaded. The default value will direct the 

user to the Sun site, but for intranet use you might want to 

direct the user to a local copy.

The jsp:param and jsp:params Elements

The 

jsp:param

 element is used with 

jsp:plugin

 in a manner similar to the

way that 

PARAM

  is  used  with 

APPLET

, specifying a name and value that are

accessed from within the applet by 

getParameter

. There are two main dif 

ferences, however. First, since 

jsp:param

 follows XML syntax, attribute

names must be lower case, attribute values must be enclosed in single or dou 

ble quotes, and the element must end with 

/>

, not just 

>

. Second, all

jsp:param

 entries must be enclosed within a 

jsp:params

 element.

So, for example, you would replace

        WIDTH=475 HEIGHT=350>

with
