I am new to applets I am going through the applet fundamentals in the complete java reference book for j2se 5.
the fir applet they have is as follows

This applet will compile but will not run correctly on my computer. Is there something wrong with the coding????? it is copied directly out of the book.

Hi,

Well first of all you have a typo at the top where you spell "class" as "calss". But I am sure that is a bad typo here and not in your program since you said it compiles and an error like that would prevent a compile.

I have tested your code as is and it does work fine. However, if you are running it in IE you will have to make sure it is not being blocked. check to make sure you don't have a yellow warning box at the top of the screen when you run it. Also make sure you are using a good test HTML page to activate the applet. This is what I used...



So compile your .java file into a .class and then make sure your "code=" part points to the class file's location. Here I am using a HTML test file that is in the same directory as the .class file so it will find it easily.

I hope some of these tips will solve your problem.

NOTE: If you have Firefox installed, try using that and see if you can see the output. If IE is the problem, you can go to Internet Options >> Advanced tab and in there activate any java checkboxes you think should be checked (use discretion).

thanks! I will try this in firefox too it may be my IE. I have to try later though my loptop is out fo commision for a few hours.

ok sorry it took so long. Here is the code copied directly from my IDE


i am using netbeans 5.5.1 with j2se 5 it compiles fine but on the applet it shows applte in the upper right of the window and at the bottom it states Start: applet not initialized when running it from netbeans however this is exactly as it is shown in the book. it gives me just the red X in the IE or Firefox browsers.

OMG i'm such a Fr|663N N3wb... I just forgot to add package p1; at the very begining of the code!!!!! excuse me while I bang my head on the wall.
