Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
My applet isn't showing up. I finally got it to say that my browser is ignoring the applet tag, which I'm guessing was the error message if it couldn't display it, based on that code sample I found.
I tried even a simple Hello World Applet and it's not working. (Maybe I shouldn't have made the html file part of the jar)
What am I doing wrong?

Post your html code. I tried to view it myself, but it crashed my browser...

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
Why do you have two applet tags? Also, when the program crashes in the browser, you should be able to click on the applet and bring up a window with an error message. What is that error message?

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
When I got the error message, it used to be that it couldn't find the class.
However, now it says that the browsers all don't like the <applet> tag.
The applet compiles. The jar won't run but, then again, you probably can't run a jar for an applet like you could a jar for a JFrame.
Also, as I had no main class, perhaps it didn't make the jar correctly.
I tried both types of tags as I heard the applet tag was deprecated. However, I couldn't quite get the object tag to work. I've been looking at a few tutorials for how to use the applet tag and also the object tag with applets but it's still never going quite right and goes wrong in some way or other. No matter what I seem to do.
I was trying different ways of using the tags to see if one of them actually worked, but it hasn't yet.
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
Try making a simple test case:
have only one <APPLET tag,
put the html and jar file in same folder (no codebase)
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

Can you copy and paste the actual error message?

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
I got it to run from your zip file, the java code is fine, you have just messed up a bit in the html, I've never made an applet before but I guessed there shouldn't be multiple applet tags, so I removed all but one of them, I also made the html links relative so they don't need to be on a computer with the location C:\users\*yourusersname* etc. the html and helloworldapplet.class just have to be in the same directory, leave everything the same but change the html code to be this
<html> <head> <title> Hello World Applet </title> </head> <body> <APPLET CODEBASE=. CODE="HelloWorldApplet.class" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=400> </APPLET> </body> </html>
edit:
also in your source java code you spelt the world in hello world wrong(doesn't actually matter I know)

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
How do you get it to show the GUI form like it does with the JMenuBar it has in the IDE testing?
All I'm getting is a sort of embedded app, not a free-standing window. Is something wrong?
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
Any idea how to get a JApplet to call another JApplet?
(Like you would with a JFrame subclass having another JFrame subclass, i.e. a button in one JFrame that opens a new JFrame.)
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
If the applets are being shown in the same Html page, the AppletContext's getApplets() method will return a reference to the other applets. Those references can be used to call another applet.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
Do you use that in the java code or the html page? How do code that exactly?
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
I was talking about a java class and method. With 1500+ posts I assume that you know what they are and can read their API doc and do a search for examples.
Try writing two simple applets that use the mentioned classes & methods, put references to them into an html page with <Applet tags and see what happens. Print out the results.

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
AppletContext is an interface. I decided to Google it. However, it appears that neither Applet nor JApplet implement it.
I'm not that familiar with Enumeration though.
Also, another reason why I'd been using the "object" tag is because I read that the Applet tag is deprecated and hence it may not work in future webpages.
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
Look at the Applet class. It has a method to get the AppletContext that can be used to call the getApplets() method.

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
Ok, now I'm getting an enumeration of applets. But what do I do with it?
How do I call another applet. I thought merely using an object would do it.
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
The methods I posted will get a reference to other Applets being displayed by the browser in the same html page. That reference can be used to call methods in the other applet.

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
I don't exactly follow what you are wanting to do. Are you wanting to swap out applets during runtime or something? Like have one applet replace itself with a different applet?

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
So, I can't have a JApplet call other JApplets with an ActionListener of a JButton.
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
You can have one class create an instance of another class and call its its methods using that instance.
It can be done inside of a method like the action listener of a button.
What do you expect to happen when you call that created instance's methods?

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
A new applet to pop up or a new window to come. That's what I had been hoping for.
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
You will have to write all the code for that. The browser takes care of the applet referenced in the html page by the <applet tag. If you want something more to happen with things the browser doesn't know about, your code will have to manage it.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
How would I handle that? I thought that a mere object reference would do it.
Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
Just to make sure, are you aware of the differences between Applications and Applets (I ask because of your reference to JFrames earlier and your mention of new applets popping up)? Consider that JApplet inherits from Panel (meaning a JApplet is a Panel) and that JFrame inherits from Window (meaning JFrame is a Window). A JApplet cannot be treated the same as a JFrame. They are VERY different things.

Re: Applet isn't showing up. Perhaps it's a browser fault.
Go read up on how applets work and what their relationship with the browser is. The browser controls the GUI for the applet.
