Thread: Making a java program into an applet

Greetings,

I am working on my assignment and I can get the Commission program to work just fine. When I try to move over to an applet I keep getting the same error and I am following the book exactly as described. Once I get this figured out I can modify the programming for my assignment but I simply want to get this part working.

Any help would be appreciated.

Your posted code has lost its formatting making it very difficult to read. Consider editing your original post adding [code=java] [/code] tags around your code. The first tag goes above your posted code block and the second tag goes below the code block.

Also, the error messages are telling you what your errors are. You need to name the file that holds the CommissionApplet class CommissionApplet.java. Next, there is no variable named "telphoneBox". My guess -- you're misspelling it. Have a look at your other error messages and try to interpret them yourself. You'll be surprised at how informative they really are.

I've got the errors fixed down to 1 and i've named the file CommissionApplet.java and it's in the same folder as the Commission.java so I don't understand what the message is. I fixed my spelling errors and formatting and just have the one.

Is there a specific place I need to put this CommissionApplet.java?

Thanks

Please show your latest CommissionApplet file, using code tags, and the latest error message, again using code tags.
