Applet is working fine in Eclipse but not in a web browser

Posted 04 February 2012 - 07:49 PM

Hey guys, I'm learning Java applets in my course now. I've written a simple applet to test out how applet works. I've wrote a basic applet with a JLabel inside which says "Welcome to Java" but for some odd reason when I run the applet in Eclipse it runs fine with the JLabel showing. But when I try to run it from a web browser I see a blank applet screen with no JLabel showing :s, and also when I use the applet viewer in the terminal to run the applet, I still see a blank screen with no JLabel :s here's my code...

Applet code
import java.applet.*;  
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class applet extends JApplet
{
	private JButton B1 = new JButton("Gege");
	//private JLabel L1 = new JLabel("welcome to Java");
	
	public void init()
	{
		//add(B1);
		add(new JLabel("Welcome to java", JLabel.CENTER));
		
	}
	
	

}


HTML Code
<html> 
	<head>
		<title>Java applet</title>
	</head>
	
	<body>
		<applet
		
		code = "applet.class"
		width = 350
		height = 200>
		
		</applet>
	
	</body>

</html>

Which browser are you using? Does have all required plugin? I tested it in IE8 and FireFox9.0.1 and is working fine!!!
Also is your browser script /ActiveX enabled?

Also use a good practice to quote you attribute values:
width = "350"
 height = "200">
for modern browsers supporting XHTML

Thnx finally got it to work! the problem was that my applet code had the following code "package samples;" because since I created the code in Eclipse I had it put in the package called samples, so each time I tried to run it from a browser the browser could not interpret that line of code :)
