I'm new to java and I've written and compiled both my first applet and class. &nbsp;They both successfully compile and yet when I run them they don't show up on the screen when they come up in the browser. &nbsp;I've used both a dos version and a visual java compiler with the same result. &nbsp;Any ideas as to what I should do-like maybe use some form of a pause command or keystroke sequence? &nbsp;I appreciate any help on this that I can get. &nbsp;Thanks.

This may be a simple one....

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
