Thread: Java Applet, display different letters in different colours

I have made a textfield applet, and would like it to do the following:

If the string typed in contains the letter 'l', then i would like it to always be displayed in red, otherwise I would like the text to be displayed in green.

Here is the code I have so far:

import java.util.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Sarah  extends Applet implements ActionListener{
 
	//public static void main(String[] args)
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
	String name;
	TextField input;
	Color col;
	Font f;
	Scanner sc=new Scanner (System.in);
	char firstname; 
 
 
	public void init()
	{
		f = new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD,19);
		setBackground (Color.white);
		input = new TextField(20);
		do 
		{
			firstname = sc.next().charAt(0);
		} while (firstname <'A' || firstname > 'Z');
		if (firstname == 'l')
		{
 
			col=Color.red;
		}
		else
		{
			col=Color.green;
		}
		add(input);
		input.addActionListener(this);
 
 
 
	}
 
	public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
	{
		name = e.getActionCommand();
 
		repaint();
 
 
	}
	public void paint (Graphics g)
	{
 
		g.setFont(f);
		g.setColor(col);
		g.drawString(name, 75, 75);
	}
 
	}

Any help asap would really be appreciated! Thank you

I was not aware this isn't allowed. I will put a link on the other website to this one.
