Applet not working?

[Martin vanPutten]

Theres something I'm missing... what is it to get it working?

  /**
 * @(#)Ball.java
 *
 * Ball Applet application
 *
 * @author Martin vanPutten 
 * @version 1.00 2007/1/17
 */
 
import java.awt.*; 
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.applet.*; 
 
public class Ball extends JApplet 
{
public void init()  
{  
 getContentPane().add (new Painter());
}

private class Painter extends JPanel 
{
public void paint(Graphics g)  
{
super.paint(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
  
setBackground(Color.black);
g.setColor (Color.yellow);
g.fillRect (10, 80, 10, 80);
}
}
}

Should work fine. Did you try appletviewer first so you can tell if it's a browser issue or not? Your HTML file should give dimensions for the applet; make sure the dimensions are large enough for the drawing to show!
