GLOSSARY of Internet Terms
- 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.
