For instance, if a web designer wanted to include an applet called MyApplet in a web page, but also include a description that the applet shows a stock ticker displaying the current price of various stocks, she could include it as:

    <APPLET CODE="MyApplet.class" WIDTH="200", HEIGHT="100">
    This applet displays current stock prices for many popular stocks
    </APPLET>

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In this example, because the applet displays complex page content (current stock prices), an alt tag alone, even as shown above, would not be sufficient for accessibility.  A means would still need to be found to provide the stock price information in accessible format.  For more on alt tags, see guidance on Rule a.
