Syam, I tried what you suggested and it didn't work.


omry,

I tried your suggestion, it didn't work. Now I get a bigger gray box on the browser in IE, and in Netscape I get error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/JApplet.
Here is a piece of my code:

class APanel extends JPanel {
     public APanel() {
          setSize(500, 500);
          add(imgPanel);
          add(mPanel, "South");
     }

     class MainPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
                         public MainPanel() {
          setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
          GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();

          Border beveled = BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder();
                                setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(beveled, ""));

                                gbc.weightx = 1.0;
          gbc.gridx = 0; gbc.gridy = 0;
          gbc.gridwidth = 5; gbc.gridheight = 1;
          gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
          gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;

          add(PicLabel, gbc);

          gbc.weightx = .20;
          gbc.gridx = 5; gbc.gridy = 0;
          gbc.gridwidth = 1; gbc.gridheight = 1;
          gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER;

          add(PrevButton, gbc);

          gbc.gridx = 6; gbc.gridy = 0;
          gbc.gridwidth = 1; gbc.gridheight = 1;
          gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER;

          add(NextButton, gbc);

          PrevButton.addActionListener(this);
          NextButton.addActionListener(this);

          PicLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
          PicLabel.setText(imgPanel.getPicText());
     }

     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
               Object source = evt.getSource();
               JButton jb = (JButton)source;

               if (jb.getText().equals("Prev")) {
          imgPanel.LoadPrevImage();
          PicLabel.setText(imgPanel.getPicText());
          imgPanel.repaint();
               }
               else {
          imgPanel.LoadNextImage();
          PicLabel.setText(imgPanel.getPicText());
          imgPanel.repaint();
              }
                }      
           }

          JPanel TopPanel = new JPanel();
          JPanel BotPanel = new JPanel();
          JButton PrevButton  = new JButton("Prev");
          JButton NextButton  = new JButton("Next");
          JLabel PicLabel = new JLabel("");
          ImagePanel imgPanel = new ImagePanel();

          MainPanel  mPanel     = new MainPanel();
}

public class MyPicsApplet extends JApplet {
     public void init () {
          Container contentPane = getContentPane();
          contentPane.add(new APanel());
          contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

          setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          add(contentPane, "Center");
     }
}

Try the plugin first

Then try to put jar files into archive tags if it doesn't work

Clear ur cache each of browser each time

Hi theta
I will off to my office
I hope u will try the above methods
Catch u on Monday

Bye
Shyam

Shyam,

Thank you for your replies. I changed the code to use the AWT components, instead of Swing, but I still get the same result. Do I still need Java Plugin? Also, when I ran the applet using Appletviewer, I can't see my image anymore, just the buttons. Are there any border layouts which work with AWT? Becuase I think the reason its not showing my image is that I don't have a boder anymore.

Thanks.
Theta.

Hi Theta

Can u send me the code across. I will check and will give u the correct code for u.

I object.
my last comment is a port of his not-compiling swing code to not-compiling awt code which, once fixed to compile, will work just fine in explorer.

Guys,
Omry i already suggest this to the questionairre. But is it not really working is the question is. Because i know the solution provided by me is workable and working offcourse.
