If your Web browser can handle Java applets, there should be a gray box centered above this paragraph. Inside the box, several lines of changing text are displayed. View the source code of this HTML page to see the tags used to put the applet on this page.

This applet takes a large number of different parameters. These control the size, color and style of the text, how it is shown, what text is displayed, and other factors. 

The RandomText1 applet was created by Eric C. Harshbarger of Sun and can be used freely on your own Web pages. For more details, visit the RandomText site or click the applet itself to go there.
