For Your Users Who Don't Have Java Runtime Environment Yet

Content owners can dramatically improve their users' experience by embedding the GetJava button within their applet. Doing so means that, if users do not have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, they will see the GetJava button, rather than a grey box. Here's the sample applet code with the HTML snippet placed within the <applet> tags.

<applet code=applet.class width=425 height=400>

You have visited a page that contains an applet written with Java
technology. Please install the Java Runtime Environment before
refreshing this page. <br>
