[bani kaali]

I tried compiling this program
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class Excercise extends Applet {
public void init() {

Frame f = new Frame("First Frame");
f.setSize(200,200);
String E = "Excercise- test area should not have scrollbars and should not be editable ";

TextArea ta = new TextArea(E,8,TextArea.SCROLLBARS_NONE);
ta.setEditable(false);
// ta.setBackground(Color.black);// line 1
// ta.setForeground(Color.yellow); // line 2
f.add(ta);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);


}
}
I am getting the folloing compiler error. ie error at line 1 and 2
Excercise java:14:No variable black defined in class Color
Excercise java:15:No variable yellow defined in class Color

Very strange..
I copied and pasted your source code, removed the comments, and it still compiled in my machine.

I also embedded the applet in an HTML page and it's working. Are you sure you are compiling the right file?
I also edited your code so that you can now close the frame:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class Test4 extends Applet 
{
public void init()
{
final Frame f = new Frame("First Frame");
f.setSize(200,200);
        
                f.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter()
                {
                public void windowClosing(WindowEvent wE)
                        {
                f.dispose();
                        }
                }
        );
String E = "Excercise- test area should not have scrollbars and should not be editable ";
TextArea ta = new TextArea(E,8,TextArea.SCROLLBARS_NONE);
ta.setEditable(false);
 ta.setBackground(Color.blue);// line 1
 ta.setForeground(Color.red); // line 2
f.add(ta);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
