I have facing many problem.
1) Applet is refreshing when a card image is dragged and move.
2) My drag image from the deck(In middle) is not removing when I am drop this image anywhere.
3) I am not dragging card from its position properly where the card is draw.
So please give me solution of this otherwise please tell me any other way with applet that I can developed error less application, I have may tried to solve the above pointed problem but not solved properly, please help me.........

Of course you can. But in case you dont get any answers and are wondering why, the link I provided should help you figure it out.

[Ganesh Gothi]

Yes, you have provided the link is my own post but, I have solved those problem, now my new problem is in this post ,,, so please help me.

[Maneesh Godbole]

No.

OK I have read the article , now I will post my problem at one forums. ok
So which forum, I can submit my problem, please tell me.

> So which forum, I can submit my problem, please tell me.

whichever forum/site you choose, be aware that 470 lines of code is 400+ lines too many.
no-one, at any forum/site is interested in your whole program.

you need to isolate a specific problem by writing a separate program that deals with only that issue,
keeping the code as lean as possible e.g. you have 104 images, if your problem is loading the images,
there is absolutely no need to post code that loads all 104 images - all that is needed is code to load
a single image - if you can get one image loaded, the rest should follow.
