The following applet tag shows the famous locomotion study by Eadweard Muybridge,
which proved that horses do, indeed, get all four hooves off the ground at once. (Of course,
you can substitute another image file in your own applet.)
Figure 25-12 shows the applet running. Notice the source image that has been loaded below
the applet using a normal tag.
