Can I run an applet of another site?

[Vijay]

hi,

Since an applet is executed on the client's machine, can I run it also
by downloading the referenced applet class and embedding it in my own
html file?

Thanks,

Yes, if you can download the class (or more likely jar) that contains the
applet, you can write your own piece of HTML that imbeds the same class or
jar. That doesn't guarantee that the applet will run correctly in your HTML
though; the applet may need to access resources that aren't available from
your HTML or may need permissions that you haven't granted.

Additionally, you should make sure you have permission from whoever is
hosting the applet since you will be using their software and their
bandwidth.

Not to mention there may be copyright issues. Using a link directly to the
applet may be inconsiderate and impolite, but given the request/response
cycle of a web server this is legal. Violating copyright is not.
