<applet> tag no longer used?

Hello,

I read that the <applet> tag is being phased out, and HTML5 does not support it at all.

Does that mean you can no longer use java applets in an html web page, or does that mean there is some other html code you are supposed to use to contain the applet?

You use the embed or object tag; refer to the documentation here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html

Also, this isn't a Java question, its an HTML one, moving from Java to HTML/CSS.
