I have a Java applet with several focusable elements that is embedded in a web page.
Is it possible to make the elements in the applet part of the logical tab order of the rest of the page?
To clarify: I would like to use Tab to move from an element outside the applet to the first element of the applet and then use Shift+Tab to move back to the element outside the applet. Similarly I would like to use Tab to move from the last element of the applet to the next element of the web-page and use Shift+Tab to move back.

Embedding Java applets in a web page should be pretty trivial, there is even an 'applet' HTML tag specifically for that purpose. However, it turns out this is now deprecated in favour of the new 'object' tag. As usual, this new tag is implemented differently by different browsers so it ends up being anything but trivial.
So, today Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports Java Applet. How to enable Java in Internet Explorer? Click on the ‘ Tools ’ icon on the top right corner of the window or press Alt+X, if on windows. Then for the menu select ‘ Internet Options ’. Then in ‘ Security ’ tab, click on ‘ Custom level ’.
Simple example of Applet by html file: To execute the applet by html file, create an applet and compile it. After that create an html file and place the applet code in html file. Now click the html file.
To Create Tabbed Panes. Select a tab by clicking it. The tabbed pane displays the component corresponding to the tab. Select a tab by entering its mnemonic. For example, in the Java look and feel you can select the tab labeled "Tab 3" by typing Alt-3. Navigate between scrollable tabs. This example provides scrollable tabs.
You can define the tab order within your page by attaching tabindex attributes to your elements, including your applet’s object element. You can define the tab order within your applet by extending the FocusTraversalPolicy class.
Let’s say you have three page controls — A, B, and C — the second of which — B — is your applet, and three applet controls — X, Y, and Z. If you make controls A, B, and C tabindex 1, 2, and 3 and X, Y, and Z first through third in the traversal cycle, your effective tab order will be: A, X, Y, Z, C.
