Thread: Why doesn't my Applet show up in my browser?

Hi, I'm new-ish to java so please excuse any mistakes I make. I've been making a dice game That when you press space, the dice "rolls" and a random number is generated. I've been trying to add the class to an html as an applet. I created a Application, and then attempted to turn it into a applet. Why doesn't the applet show up in my browser?
Application Code:

import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class DiceGame extends JFrame
       implements KeyListener,
       ActionListener
{
	private JLabel label1;
	private JLabel label2;
	private JLabel label3;
    JTextArea displayArea;
    JTextField typingArea;
    static final String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
 
    public static void main( String args[] )
	{
        try {
             UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
        } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
            }
        });
	}
 
    public static void createAndShowGUI() {
    DiceGame frame = new DiceGame("Dice Game");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.addComponentsToPane();
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
	}
 
	    private void addComponentsToPane() {
 
	        JButton button = new JButton("Clear");
	        button.addActionListener(this);
	        displayArea = new JTextArea();
	        displayArea.setEditable(true);
	        displayArea.addKeyListener(this);
	        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(displayArea);
	        scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(375, 125));
	        getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
	        getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
    }
 
	public DiceGame(String name)
	{
        super( name );
		setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
		Icon DiceGame = new ImageIcon( getClass().getResource( "dice.gif" ) );
		label2 = new JLabel();
		label2.setText( "" );
		label2.setIcon( DiceGame );
		label2.setToolTipText( "DiceGame" );
		label2.setHorizontalTextPosition( SwingConstants.LEFT );
		label2.setVerticalTextPosition( SwingConstants.BOTTOM );
		add( label2 );
	}
	    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}
	    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
		    if(e.getKeyChar() == e.VK_SPACE) {
		       int d = (int)(Math.random() * 10) % 6 + 1;
		       displayInfo(d);
	        }
		    displayArea.requestFocusInWindow();
	    }
	    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {}
 
	    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		     displayArea.setText("");
		     displayArea.requestFocusInWindow();
        }
 
        private void displayInfo(int g){
			displayArea.setText("");
		    String keyString = Integer.toString(g);
            displayArea.append(keyString + newline);
            displayArea.setCaretPosition(displayArea.getDocument().getLength());
    }
}

Applet Code:

import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
 
public class DiceGameApplet extends JApplet
       implements KeyListener,
       ActionListener
{
	private JLabel label2 = new JLabel();
    JTextArea displayArea = new JTextArea();
    int width, height;
    JButton button = new JButton("Clear");
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(displayArea);
    Icon DiceGame = new ImageIcon( getClass().getResource( "dice.gif" ) );
 
    static final String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
 
	    public void init() {
        width = getSize().width;
        height = getSize().height;
	    button.addActionListener(this);
	    displayArea.setEditable(true);
	    displayArea.addKeyListener(this);
	    scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(375, 125));
	    getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
	    getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
		setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
		label2.setText( "" );
		label2.setIcon( DiceGame );
		label2.setToolTipText( "DiceGame" );
		label2.setHorizontalTextPosition( SwingConstants.LEFT );
		label2.setVerticalTextPosition( SwingConstants.BOTTOM );
		add( label2 );
    }
 
	    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}
	    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
		    if(e.getKeyChar() == e.VK_SPACE) {
		       int d = (int)(Math.random() * 10) % 6 + 1;
		       displayInfo(d);
	        }
		    displayArea.requestFocusInWindow();
	    }
	    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {}
 
	    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		     displayArea.setText("");
		     displayArea.requestFocusInWindow();
        }
 
        private void displayInfo(int g){
			displayArea.setText("");
		    String keyString = Integer.toString(g);
            displayArea.append(keyString + newline);
            displayArea.setCaretPosition(displayArea.getDocument().getLength());
    }
}

Why doesn't the applet show up in my browser?

Can you show the HTML you are using to load the applet into the browser?
Also look at the browser's java console to see if there are any error messages.

Glad you solved it.
