What
Are Plug-Ins?
Plug-in applications are programs
that can easily be installed and used as part of your Web browser.
A plug-in application is recognized automatically by the browser
and its function is integrated into the main HTML file that is
being presented.
Among popular plug-ins
to download are RealNetworks' streaming video player, and
Macromedia's Shockwave for DIrector, an interactive animation and
sound player. There are now hundreds of possible plug-ins.
Most users wait until they need a particular plug-in before they
download it.
