getParameter() Example
An applet tag on a web page can enclose PARAM specifications. These can be read when the applet runs. Here we have two example parameters. <PARAM name="dvd" value="Flicks">
<PARAM name="sales" value="123">
The applet would read and print the parameter values shown above, if the applet was running in a browser.
