The

tag is used to set the name/value pair that provides a parameter required by a Java object in an
applet
tag or by some object in an
object
tag. Each
param
tag can provide only one parameter. However, there can be any number of parameters (from zero to many). These parameters, including the name and acceptable range of values (defaults, etc.), are established by the author of the applet or object. For example, they could set the color of the applet.
This tag is placed immediately after the opening
applet
or
object
