How is Applet limited by browser? What J5+ features can i use?

Im totally new to applets (sort of). Aside from the security restrictionshow do/can browsers work against an applet?Like, if i have Java 5 installed can I write an applet that uses all J5 features like all of javax.swing and generics etc?

You have to set up the browser to use your Java 5 installation. You probably did this when you installed Java 5.So you should be fine, and be able to use all Java 5 stuff, aside from security restrictions as noted.
