<p>cfapplet lets you reference custom Java applets that have been registered using the ColdFusion Administrator. <p>To register a Java applet, open the ColdFusion Administrator and click "Applets" link under "extensions" section. <p>This example applet copies text that you type into a form. Type some text, and then click "copy" to see the copied text. <cfform action = "index.cfm"> <cfapplet appletsource = "copytext" name = "copytext"> </cfform>
