paint doesn't work

[Andrew Lit]

Hi,
i just can't figure out why it is not working. What i mean is that nothing is being added to the applet, although it should show some elements. plz could you look at it and give a hint.

  
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class IntroCanvas extends Canvas{
  private Color pink = new Color(255, 200, 200);
  private Color blue = new Color(150, 200, 255);
  private Color yellow = new Color(250, 220, 100);
  private int height, widht;
  private int edge = 16;
  private static final String title = "Scrabblet";
  private static final String mail ="mail";
  private Font name_font, title_font;
  public class MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter{
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){
      (getParent()).setVisible(false);
    }
  }
  public IntroCanvas() {
    setBackground(yellow);
    title_font = new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD, 58);
    name_font = new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD, 18);
    this.addMouseListener(new MyMouseListener());
  }
  public void paint(Graphics g){
    Dimension d = this.getSize();
    height = d.height;
    widht = d.width;
    g.setColor(blue);
    g.fill3DRect(edge, edge, widht-2*edge, height-2*edge, true);
    draw_(g, title, Color.black, title_font, height/2, 1);
    draw_(g, title, Color.white, title_font, height/2, -1);
    draw_(g, title, pink, title_font, height/2, 0);
    draw_(g, "mail to: "+mail, Color.black, name_font, height*3/4, 0);
  }
  public void draw_(Graphics g, String s, Color c, Font f, int y, int off){
    g.setFont(f);
    FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
    g.setColor(c);
    g.drawString(s, (int)(widht - fm.stringWidth(s)*1.2) + off, y+off);
  }
}

i figured it out
add(topPanel, "NORTH"); is wrong, it must be
add(topPanel, "North");
damn so much time wasted because of this
