By doing "View Source", I see the warning is "APPLET tag requires CODE parameter".
The applet tag MUST HAVE a CODE="name of class file" parameter -eg.: < APPLET CODE="myapplet.class" WIDTH=10 HEIGHT=20>
See http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/misc/applet.html
for more details.
As for a good book, check out JavaRanch's own bunkhouse: http://www.javaranch.com/bunkhouse/bunkhouseBeginning.jsp
If you decide to buy one of them, order via the BunkHouse and that way you're also helping to support JavaRanch (because it'll get a commission from Amazon - "Hoooo Doggy" I believe is the common phrase)
Which book is the best? That really depends on your own personal taste, how much experience you have with other languages, etc. Personally, I really like Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java", and what's really nice is you can get a good look at it by downloading the entire book for free It's at http://www.bruceeckel.com (which leads you to http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ ). If you're serious about studying it, of course, you'll want it on paper - and buying the book is cheaper than the cost of all those ink cartridges you'd use printing it!
Best of luck,
Rob

Hi Cyril
When you use the applet tag in html, the browser expects to find an attribute within that tag which indicates the name of the relevant compiled Java class (the one extending Applet). Your tag should therefore look something like:
<code>
<pre>
< applet code="MyApplet.class" <br /> width="400"<br /> height="300">
</applet>
</pre>
</code>
A good book for beginning Java? I found both "Java In A Nutshell" by David Flanagan on O'Reilly and "Java 2 How To Program" by Deitel & Deitel on Prentice Hall to be pretty useful. The Deitel book in paticular covers many different aspects of the language at an introductory level, and is full of examples of code.
Hope this helps
Michael

Sorry, replied to your question but wrote the code for the applet tag directly into the answer. I thought this would be fine if I enclosed it in code tags, but apparently I was wrong. Hence, completely disregard the mess you see above this post. The applet tag confuses things, so I won't put a literal example in this post.
Anyhow, the problem is you need to supply some attributes within the applet tag in your html. At a minimum, you should include height and width, plus the code attribute, which is the one causing your current problems. This attribute specifies the name of the Java class that extends Applet e.g. "MyApplet.class"

Those pesky APPLET tags! They hid my reply for some reason. Here it is again:
By doing "View Source", I see the warning is "APPLET tag requires CODE parameter".

Put a space between the < and the word "applet" and everything will show up better.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
