I did learn a lot today while trying to validating my new sub domain: http://websitesasgraphs.waltercedric.com/ I found a huge number of examples using the tag <applet> which has been deprecated and create errors and warning in W3C validation engine. But no example using the  the new HTML <object> tag.  Hence I decide to publish this small post.

The following page are now XHTM 1.0

• display.php (validation Link) XHTML 1.0 Strict
• menu.html (validation link) XHTML 1.0 Transitional

While this one is

• index.html (validation link) HTML 4.01 Frameset

Here is the code to insert a java applet into an XHTML 1.0 Strict web page

<div>
<object classid="java:mkv_htmlgraph.class"  
        type="application/x-java-applet"
        archive="mkv_htmlgraph.jar"
        width="600" height="600">
    <param name="code" value="mkv_htmlgraph" />
    <param name="archive" value="mkv_htmlgraph.jar" /> 
    <param name="image" value="loading.gif" />
    <param name="boxmessage" value="Loading Processing software..." />
    <param name="boxbgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
    <param name="urlFromForm" value="http://websitesasgraphs.waltercedric.com/getDataFromURL.php?url=&amp;lt;?php echo $url ?>" />

By the way, I discover huge issues in IE8, less in IE7 with my homepage, none in Opera or Firefox. And since my homepage is currently not valid, I will correct everything to make it XHTML 1.0 compliant today.
