  • Applet

    a small program, usually written in Java, designed to perform a simple specific task. downloads quickly and can be used by any computer equipped with a Java- or ActiveX-enabled browser. Some browsers severely restrict the applet's file system and network access in order to prevent accidental or deliberate security violations. Full Java applications, which run outside of the browser, do not have these restrictions.
