You can just put html tags directly into a print statement exactly as mentioned above

Thank you for all your suggestions As the machine isnt actually using real money im just going to keep it as a float for now and use one of the simpler suggestions from above I had noticed that about the float was quite interesting but for the purposes of the machine its just a representation of a number

Plus gives me something to comment on in the report don't it

Or you could put a Panel inside the panel

then

topPanel.remove(insidePanel);
topPanel.revalidate();

then add a new panel in its place

topPanel.add(newInsidePanel);
topPanel.revalidate();

Maybe i should start looking for java jobs again. I could answer all the questions in this thread and more. Unfortunatly no one seems to want people without industrial experiance

Its for a fruit machine im creating as part of my final year project Basically im just using it just to add the winnings / earning of the machine to the balance which is also a float.

thanks very much. Spot on!

ahh sorry badly worded lol. I got some horrible flu thing so ill blame that.

What i mean is one decimal point. Two decimal places e.g 1.00 2.34 4.52 so it looks like currency

Is there a quick way of making a float always have two decimal points. Even if its double 0. Im trying to represent currency and just cant get it working properley.

Thanks for reply.

How would I go about getting a quote for things like this. Is there a problem with trust when undertaking projects like this?

I have an idea which I believe has some good potential. A Java applet / flash would be required for the idea to work. Unfortunatly my graphical / programing talent is not yet good enough to do this all on my own. So I was wondering if any one here knew what the deal was with hiring freelancers. Do they own the code? do they own the copywright?

JPanels would be movieclips in swf.

Inside your JPanel you put your objects/graphics.

I believe there are text field options in swf as well..

Your question is quite tricky to understand

My understanding of MVC is..

JSP for the way the content looks
Servlets for performing opperations on data
Beans for use of storing data.

Try changing the ipady and ipadx values to the size of the space you have left available before placing in the third box

c.ipady = value;
c.ipadx = value;

Java is four letters when most languages are three. example: c++
