loading applet on web browser

hi!

I am trying to load applet on web browser.
I placed HelloApplet.class and HelloApplet.html same dir(home_dir/public_html/../..).
However, when I tried to load by typing "http://www....../HelloApplet.html,
just "Hello, Applet World!" from HelloApplet.html file appears, and there is
no string or clickable button on the browser. It just shows gray area...that's it.
Why is that?

Thanks for help.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class HelloApplet extends JApplet {

private int currentIndex = 0;

public void init() {
final String[] MESSAGES = {"Hello, Applet World!","Still here"};
final JLabel DISPLAY_LABEL = new JLabel("");
JButton showButton = new JButton("Click here for a message " +
"from our sponsor!");
showButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
DISPLAY_LABEL.setText(MESSAGES[currentIndex]);
currentIndex = (currentIndex + 1) % MESSAGES.length;
}
});
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.add(showButton, BorderLayout.NORTH);
contentPane.add(DISPLAY_LABEL, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
}

Thank you for your answer, but I don't see Enable Java Plug-in option on Basic Panel and any other panel.

The "Advanced" panel?

It's about half way down the list of checkboxes

TimYates

Sorry...

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced

TimYates

Of course, you will need the plugin from http://java.sun.com/getjava if you don't already have it...

I tried all, but it wasn't successful. I don't know why...
When I try to run, I see "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:HelloApplet$1." on bottom of web broswer.

I ftp HelloApplet$1.class as well and the applet starts, but I still don't see clickable button and messages"
What is difference "HelloApplet$1.class" and "HelloApplet.class"? When I compiled, I got both classes file.
There is no inner class in my applet by the way.(from above source)

I 'd apprecatied your comments

It shows up "Hello, Applet World!" and the bottom web broswer says 'Applet HelloApplet Started and then if I mouse my mouse to gray box then the msg chagnes to 'loading java applet...' and it takes forever. I did try CTRL-Refresh option, but didn't work.
Is it server problem? I asked to a friend of mine to load the applet and he got same problem...
