    Please change the quote tags to code tags to restore the code's formatting. Having all the statements starting in the first column makes the code hard to read.

    A sample:
        int x = 0;
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Where do you add any components to the JFrame so they can be seen?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Thanks man .. i have been thinking too much and I missed this code of line
    		add(pnlRadioButtons, BorderLayout.NORTH);

    Any recommendation for my program ..
    I am designing a small program for ( T-shirtCompany ) will let the user choose his own style ( out of 3 styles ) colors ( 6 colors ) and size ( all sizes )

    should I design pics and let the user choose the design by ( drop down list ) ? after that choose the color using the same function? each time the user choose one item from the drop list the program will call another pic and show it ?? < in this case I will have around 18 pics
    is this a good idea to start or is there any thing else easier and better?

    thank you guys so much
