When you need to change something on several htm pages; a link, or the size of a font in the header it's easier if you can do it all at once rather than have to edit each page one at a time. For example I *always* need to change the size of the font on the top of the htm pages generated by the gallery making software I use, the default that cannot be changed in the program itself, is far too big. If you have fifty or more of them it may take a long time.
Java applets are little pieces of Java code that can do many things, for example flash a header or change something. I use one to select the picture displayed at random each time the main page is accessed. I have another that increments the counter each time a page is opened. Every page on my website has a hidden counter -- a bit of Java code on the bottom does the job. The counter statistics (Jelly) tell me who visited the page, when they did and how they got there -- and a lot of other things as well. Aside: It was very interesting to see the Directors of the Cement Company from Hell rushing in with their lawyers to try to find something in the site that they could use to get it shut down. There was nothing there of course because I had been careful. They accessed the pages more than 100 times in the first two days.
