    Default Creating an Applet program using JTextFields, JLabel, Jbutton.

    Ok, here is another newbie in java. I want to create an Applet program. When the button “Show” is clicked, the information typed in the two JTextFields (if any), will be displayed on the JLabel. On the other hand, when the button “Clear” is clicked, the information typed in the two JTextField (if any), will be cleared.

    the complicated code(for newbie me) is right here:

    JLabel lblName = new JLabel("Name:");

    JLabel lblAge = new JLabel("Age:");

    textField = new JTextField();
    textField.setColumns(10);

    textField_1 = new JTextField();
    textField_1.setColumns(10);

    JButton btnShow = new JButton("Show");
    btnShow.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
    textField.setText("Max");
    textField_1.setText("25");
    }
    });

    JButton btnClear = new JButton("Clear");
    btnClear.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
    textField.setText("");
    textField_1.setText("");
    }


    Here my whole code using Eclipse:


    package applet.oum;

    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import java.awt.EventQueue;

    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;

    frame.setVisible(true);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
    });
    }

    /**

    any help would b appreciate.. TQ..

    There is no error about this code, it just that i want it to be like, when the button “Show” is clicked, the information typed in the two JTextFields (if any), will be displayed on the JLabel. On the other hand, when the button “Clear” is clicked, the information typed in the two JTextField (if any), will be cleared. The problem is, what ever names i enter will output name: Max, and age: 25. I want it to display different names and ages.
