I am working on a java applet that sends information from the applet to a gmail using JavaMail. I downloaded the JavaMail package and using the mail.jar file it does send to the email from my Eclipse workspace.
However, when I ftp the files (ContactForm.java, ContactForm.class, mail.jar, and test.html) to the server. I get a "applet notloaded" error. NOTE: All the files are in the same directory.
Here is the code:
Applet: (ContactForm.java)
package rha;
/*
* Purpose: Residence Hall Association online "comment card"
* Gets information from the user (email, query, message)
* and SMTPs the information to the RHA email address
* @author Alex Laughnan
* Created: August 20, 2010
* Modified: August 20, 2010

<HTML>

There is an issue with the applet.

</HMTL>I hope to get this up and running by September 15th, 2010. I have messed around quite a bit, but I can't seem to get it to run on the web, though it still runs on the Eclipse workspace.
