It was never integrated into the DOM, though, was it? I am only aware of it being used in a separate, sandboxed area on the page, unable to interact with anything else except in a very limited way.
(Never mind the slow loading time etc)

- rlpb 16y agoFrom the first hit: "Java applets may need to perform Java to JavaScript communication to access the Document Object Model (DOM)..." So it seems that it is hardly an alternative. > ...or is every link on the first SERP wrong in some way? What I don't expect to find quickly is exactly how long this has been possible in which browsers since when. Was it possible back in the days of IE4 and Netscape 4 or 4.5 or whatever it was?
- patio11 16y agoYou could integrate Java applets into the DOM. Now you have two problems. (Keep in mind that back when this was popular IE 4 was busy kicking the pants off of Netscape Navigator. Fancy programming against IE 4?)
