You supplied values for these required attributes when you created the project.
Blink also contains numerous optional attributes. The optional attributes determine such things as how the project appears in the portfolio and the compiler options to use to build the project. The Java WorkShop supplies default values for these attributes when you create the project.
In the next lesson, you will edit the attributes that make up the <applet> tag. Recall that when you ran the Blink project in the previous lesson, the WorkShop created the <applet> tag using the minimum requirements to put the applet on a Web page. The WorkShop created the tag in the file Blink.tmp.html in your Blink directory. The file currently looks something like this:
<applet name="Blink" code="Blink.class" codebase="/your_home_directory/.jws/Blink" width="500" height="600"> align="Top" alt="If you had a java-enabled browser, you would see an applet here." > <hr>If your browser recognized the applet tag, you would see an applet here.<hr> </applet>
Blink.class is the file that contains the applet's compiled Java code. Codebase is the directory that contains the Blink.class file. Width and height define the area, in pixels, that the browser needs to display the applet.
You will not edit the .html file directly. The Java WorkShop will update the file based on the actions you perform in the Project Manager.
