    Default applets in package

    I am learning applets and am having a problem (I am sure is very simple for most of you).
    Whenever i put the applet in a namespace (package), i can't run it.
    package javaboard; /*without this it works*/
     
    import java.applet.*;
    import java.awt.*;
     
    public class AppletBoard extends Applet {
    	public void paint(Graphics g){
    		g.drawString("Hello World!",200,100);
    	}
    }
    I tried to create a jar file and modify the class name in the html file but it doesn't work.
    Also before jarring, it didn't work. What am I missing ?

    How do you modify this html
    <html> 
     <applet code="AppletBoard.class" height="300" width="320">
     </applet>
     </html>

    Make sure the directory structure that your code resides parallels the package structure you have created. Further, when you package an app into a jar you need to maintain this structure.

    That also applies to the code= attribute. It should refer to the package and class. For example:
    ... code=javaboard.AppletBoard ...

    Leave off the .class as that is not part of the class name.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I was using the prefix "javaboard." when testing the jars and it worked as long
    as I didnt put the package javaboard; namespace. But I did not try removing .class extension.
    So far I am having no luck both with and without jarring. Here is my directory structure and error message before jarring
     Directory of C:\Users\Daniel\Desktop\test\javaboard

    With the package path, the HTML file should be in the test folder. The browser will look in the javaboard folder for the AppletBoard.class file.
