Applet
An applet is a small program designed to run within another application. Applets are useful on the Web because, once they are downloaded, they can be executed quickly within the user's browser. More than one applet can exist in a single document, and they can communicate with one another while they work. Java is one of the major languages used for creating Web-based applets.
