It is up to you as programmer to cook up some scheme to embed quotes
in Applet param tag values, or in there some accepted convention or
even builtin convention that handles them automatically?

Similarly for other naughty characters like \n.

java.net.URLEncoder
Has a method that you can use that will convert any string
into one that uses the %20 type encodings (and + for space).
Then on the other end use URLDecoder

But Java does not do this automatically, right?

Special?
<http://www.physci.org/test/param/>

Nothing special in that.

If you like, I'll whip up a .jsp that
try any ole crap param you throw at it
...should be mildly interesting.

Perhaps I should have been a little more
rigoruous and mentioned that the tag..

<param name=param1 value=1.'4"xx1>

...shows [ 1.'4"xx1 ] on..
XP Pro, with
1.4.2 JVM in both..
Moz 1.3 and
IE 6. As well as..
1.1.4 MSVM in..
IE 6

...there. (page updated as well)

Plain HTML character entities maybe?
<PARAM NAME="QuoteYourParameters" VALUE="&quot; or even "">

<PARAM NAME="MultipleLines" VALUE="line 1 line2 etc.">

Should work in most of the modern browsers. Don't know if appletviewer understands it, though.

After further investigation, that seems safest..
<http://www.physci.org/test/param/index.jsp>

Pedro's example works for either single or double quotes
<http://www.physci.org/test/param/index.jsp?num=3>

Whereas my initial example _only_ works with *no* quotes..
<http://www.physci.org/test/param/index.jsp?num=0>

There are some other examples and a form
on the page..

Parms are supposed to be enclosed in quotes, and these are not part of
the param. If you run code though HTMLValidator it will complain if
you leave out the quotes, but it will work.

You can't therefore pass as a parameter

"I think therefore I am" including the quotes.

I wrote this up as requiring URLEncoding.
