sorry... i fixed it.. u knw how to solve the problem?

Because you have declared and added that text area as a local variable in your constructor here

JTextArea txtAreaArticle = new JTextArea(15,40);

That is declaring a new JTextArea of the same name local to the constructor block. You need to drop the "JTextArea" type from that statement if you want to initialize the one you have already declared at the class level.

txtAreaArticle = new JTextArea(15,40);
