### Why is this important?
Alternative text on `<applet>` elements is important for users who do not have a Java-capable browser or have disabled Java™.
In addition, providing a text alternative makes the same information accessible through audio or other channels.
<!-- This is where the code snippet is injected -->
<div id="locSnippet"></div>
### What to do
* If the `<applet>` element is missing an alternative description, add an `alt` attribute
* **And**, add HTML-based content (i.e., inner text) that describes the function of the `<applet>` element, if possible.
For example:
```
<applet CODE="banner.class" ALT="Scrolling news banner" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="200">
Banner shows three things:
<ol>
<li>The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 300 points today in heavy trading.</li>
<li>G8 Summit to start in Washington tomorrow.</li>
<li>Global nuclear non-proliferation treaty signed by all nations today.</li>
</ol>
</applet>
```
</script></mark-down>
<!-- End main panel -->
<!-- This is where the rule id is injected -->
<div id="ruleInfo"></div>

<div class="bx--col-sm-4 bx--col-md-3 bx--col-lg-4 toolSide">
<!-- Start side panel -->
<mark-down><script type="text/plain">
### About this requirement
* [IBM 1.1.1 Non-text content](https://www.ibm.com/able/requirements/requirements/#1_1_1)
* [H35: Text alternatives on applet elements](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/html/H35)
### Who does this affect?
* People using a screen reader, including blind, low vision, and neurodivergent people
* People using text-based browsers (e.g., Lynx) or audio interfaces
