This is the method of invoking a Java program. It has been deprecated in favour of the <object> tag.
MSIE 3.0 DTD stipulates that four standard attributes apply to this tag. They are "class=", "id=", "lang=" and "style=". None of the other browsers use these attributes and there is no logical reason that they be included here. It is possible that it is an error in the MSIE 3.0 DTD.

"classFileDirectory" changes the URL specified by the BASE tag. If the CODEBASE attribute is defined, it specifies a location to find applet resources. The value can be an absolute URL or a relative URL. An absolute URL is used as itwithout modification and is not affected by the document's BASE tag. When the CODEBASE attribute is relative, then it is relative to the document-URL defined bythe BASE tag. If no base tag is specified, the it is relative to the directory where the HTML file is." (Netscape)
"This attribute specifies the base URL for the applet. If this attribute is not specified, then the base URL for the applet is the samme as for the current document." (W3C)
