    Pretty impressive try at imitating what highlight tags would do for you. Instead of doing all that work, please read this post and note the first item about using code tags. Code tags preserve formatting and do some highlighting, but highlight tags do a nicer job.

    As for your question, please describe "working" versus "not working." What help do you need? Ask specific questions, give examples if possible.

    Hi
    am trying to get my button handler to work but ends up getting this error message

    Default Re: I get this error when compiling my program

    does not override abstract method actionPerformed(ActionEvent)
    The compiler can not find a method matching that shown in the error message. That method is required to be defined in the class because it implements ActionListener.

    Check the spelling.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
