Hello all,
I'm probably missing something very basic here. I'm trying to get my first applet to run inside a local HTML page in Firefox 3.6 on Mac OS 10.5.8. Here's the applet's code:
package SimpleApplet;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class MyApplet extends Applet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public void init()
{
}
public void stop()
{
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString("Tweedle-Dee!",20,40);
}
}
Here's the HTML page:
<html>
<body>
Here's the applet: <br/>
<applet code="MyApplet.class" width="300" height="150">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
Both files (.class and .html) are in the same folder on my local machine. Now when I load the .html file into Firefox, a rectangle with a red X gets displayed. The applet works when started from Eclipse (using JRE 1.5 BTW).
Also, it's not a general problem with my browser, as several pages with applets (e.g. http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/Blink/example1.html) work.
This is also difficult to troubleshoot because there is no output at all on the Java console...
Any suggestions are appreciated!
