Name
ARCHIVE — NN 3 IE n/a HTML 4
Synopsis
ARCHIVE=”archiveFileURL"Optional
The precise meaning of the ARCHIVE attribute
varies between the HTML 4.0 recommendation and Netscape’s
implementation. The basic idea behind Netscape’s
ARCHIVE attribute is that an author can package
together multiple class files into a single uncompressed
.zip archive file and let the browser load the
entire set of classes at one time. This can offer a performance
improvement over loading just the main class file (specified by the
CODE attribute) and then letting the class loader
fetch each additional class file as needed.
In addition to specifying the ARCHIVE attribute,
be sure to include a CODE attribute that names the
main class to load. Navigator first looks for the presence of that
class file in the archive. If the file is missing from the archive,
Navigator loads the CODE class file separately.
(That class may then load additional supporting class files
individually.) Navigator requires that the archive file have a
.zip filename extension. The URL must also be
relative to the CODEBASE location.
The HTML specification allows multiple URLs to be specified (in a
space-delimited list) for additional class or other resource files.
This design is in anticipation of the same attribute being used with
the OBJECT element, which the W3C has deemed to be
the successor to the APPLET element.
Example
<APPLET CODE="ScriptableClock.class" ARCHIVE="myClock.zip" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=50> </APPLET>
