Well, for a start, it's posted without any code tags, so it's hard to read. That's one thing that's wrong with it. For another thing, it doesn't tell me what it's supposed to do, so I can't evaluate whether the code is correct, that's a big problem.

What is the code supposed to do, and what is it doing wrong, or not doing at all?

There was two mistakes there was no applet code u have specified and there was no main method declared in it i think the below code must have solved your problem

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

if this thread is solved then mark it as solved.
ok

thanks for the reply...i was able to run this program... thank you.....
