I've never used Java Applet for the "Lake" effect before, can anybody give me a hand at it? I'm learning HTML with Notepad and was wondering if I can insert it in the page without knowledge of Java Script & all... here's the link http://javaboutique.internet.com/Lake/
The main question is how does it work???
I appreciate any help & suggestions offered.

With a Java applet you will get a *.class file, most likley in this case it will be lake.class. This .class needs to be placed in the same directory as your .html file and your image file. You can use what is called codebase (which is an HTML attribute) to place the image and .class file in another directory. This information should be in a text file with the applet when you download the applet.

If you have further questions feel free to ask away.

AUGH! I'm sorry, but this has been bugging me a lot recently, multiple people have made the same error. Let me see how many ways I can say this:

Java is not the same as JavaScript.
Java != JavaScript
Java and JavaScript are different programming languages.
Although Java and JavaScript are similar in ways, they are entirely different languages.
if (Java == JavaScript) alert("Wrong");
else alert("Right");

Sorry about the sarcasm... I had to get that off my chest. *deep breath*

As for the effect, I beleive you can do that without any Java or JavaScript knowledge; it appears that if you download the provided files and use the provided HTML, it will work by itself.
