Simple Java question

[tdizzle342]

Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me out. Im trying to make a applet when a button is clicked it will appear the name John . And when another button is pressed it will display "Smith" in a seperate text field. This is what I have so far.

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Test extends Applet
{
Button first ;
Button last;
TextField one ;
TextField two ;

public void init ()
{
first = new Button;
last = new Button;
one = new TextField;
two = new TextField;
add (first);
add(last);
add(one);
add(two);
}

public boolean action (Event e , Object o)
{
if (e.target == first)
{
one.setText("john");
}
else if (e.target == last)
{
two.setText("smith");
}
}

}

Couple of problems:

1) You don't state what the problem is
2) You don't set anything visible
3) Your global variables are public
4) You don't set the layout

Not much to correct then... :lol:

Greetings:
You should really pay attention at server_crash points, anyway, this should do the trick:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class Test extends Applet implements ActionListener{
	private Button b1,b2;
	private Label l1,l2;
	public void init()
	{
		GridBagLayout g=new GridBagLayout();setLayout(g);
		GridBagConstraints c=new GridBagConstraints();
		c.fill=GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
		l1=new Label();l2=new Label();
		b1=new Button("Jhon");b1.addActionListener(this);
		b2=new Button("Smith");b2.addActionListener(this);
		c.gridx=0;c.gridy=0;add(l1,c);c.gridx=1;c.gridy=0;add(b1,c);
		c.gridx=0;c.gridy=1;add(l2,c);c.gridx=1;c.gridy=1;add(b2,c);
	}
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
		String s=e.getActionCommand();
		if(s=="Jhon")l1.setText("Jhon");else l2.setText("Smith");
	}
}
