32             String string="";  

33             if (event.getSource()==textField1)  

34             {  

35                 index=1;  

36             }  

37         }  

38     }  

I want to make a text field and monitor it for when enter is pressed. when I change public static void main to public void init, it works properly, but it does not work with main, and i want this not to be an applet.

eventually, i will add a loop that runs until index is changed to 1 (starts at 0), and index is changed when enter is hit from the text field. Where should that that loop be placed?

Can you post code without the numbers at the start of each line?

public void init,

That should not compile.

Can you explain what you are talking about? main() and applet ???

If you are getting compiler error messages, please copy the full text and paste them here.

refer this code which will alert when press Enter
