?The Applet Tag

the Easel applet is included in a page byusing the HTML <applet> tag. The easiest way to get the parameters of this tag correct is to use the easel_applet_tag function to write it:

<script language='JavaScript'>
    easel_applet_tag("mymap", "/overlaid", 330, 330);
</script>
	    <param name='copyright' value='Copyright 1999-2002 Interactive Informati on Ltd'> 

	    <param ...>
	    ...
    </applet>

However, if you want to put the tag in by hand it should look something like the following:

<applet  MAYSCRIPT codebase='/overlaid' archive='easel.jar' code=Easel name='mymap' width=330 height=330>

The parameters of the <applet> tag are:

MAYSCRIPT: This indicates that the applet will want to call JavaScript functions.
codebase: This points to where the instalation of Information Overlaid where the applet can be found.
archive: The name of the file containing the applet.
code: The name of the applet itself.
