getAppletContext error
Continuing with the applet which loooks like it can do everything I need it to- How do I resolve the getAppletContext compile error - please refer to my question
regarding user input to form a url to read a file from a server. Many thanks and Kudos to Mlimotte - you are indeed a Java expert and a fine teacher! Here's the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class getFile01 extends java.applet.Applet {
TextArea text = new TextArea();
Button btnOk = new Button("Ok");
String server = "abcdefg",
url_prefix = "/hijkl/m_",
url_suffix = ".txt";
public void init() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add("Center",text);
add("South", btnOk);
}
public boolean action(Event event, Object what)
{
if (event.target == btnOk)
{
try {
URL url = new URL ("http", server,
url_prefix + text.getText() + url_suffix);
getAppletContext.showDocum ent(url);
}
catch (Exception exp) {
text.setText("Cannot Load");
}
return true;
}
else
return super.action(event, what);
}
}

Thanks for the response- I am unclear on how the comment to the original question resolves the compiler error. I am confused
because I thought the comment regarded the two applet approach.
Can you please clarify for me how to resolve the
error. I apologize for my ignorance. What exactly do I do to remove the error in the original single applet approach?
I understand getAppletContext(); to be a method. Somehow I am
stumbling.

I've added an additional comment under the original question to clarify what you need to do. If you'd like to respond, please do it there so we can keep the question threads distinct.

Yes - In case you haven't looked at my comment on the original
question - getFile compiled successfully and I wil be testing it.
Mlimotte-THANK YOU!!!
