"Its difficult to desing and build good user interface in applets compared to HTML technology??????" Is it realy?? I do not agree with this statement at all. It depends on developer level. Java applet allows developing of the best User Interfaces with different functionalities and the minimum efforts. HTML do not allow to build such perfect interfaces like it could be done by Java Applet technology. Actually it is one of advantages of Java Applet: "Easy to design and build good User Intefaces".
