I need to know if it is possible to have an applet read an HTML tag
from within the programm.

For example, if a tag

<INPUT NAME = PWD TYPE=PASSWORD ... > </INPUT>

contains a password that in need to use, will I be able to read the
value from that tag?

Lets say my applet tag looks like this, once the values in the PWD
field has been entered:

<APPLET CODE = MYCLASS.CLASS ...
<PARAM NAME = "PASSWORD" VALUE = PWD >
...
></APPLET>


IS THIS CODE SOMETHING THAT IS POSSIBLE?
