making an applet work
« on: August 07, 2011, 11:01:58 pm »
This Applet is written correctly yet it will not run correctly. The only way I can view it correctly is to open the html file that has the <apple> tag in it in a Java IDE and comple it. However when I try to run it online, it gives an error. This should NOT be happening.

link: http://greyshadowencodes.webs.com/java/moonPhases.html

here is the code to the applet:

Code: [Select]
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class moonPhases extends JApplet implements ActionListener {

JButton full = new JButton("Full moon");
JButton newmoon = new JButton("New moon");
JButton waxingcrescent = new JButton("Waxing Crescent");
JButton waxinggibbous = new JButton("Waxing Gibbous");
JButton waningcrescent = new JButton("Waning Crescent");
JButton waninggibbous = new JButton("Waning Gibbous");
JButton firstquarter = new JButton("First quarter");
JButton thirdquarter = new JButton("Third quarter");
JLabel label1, label2, label3, label4, label5, label6, label7, label8;
Container contentArea;
Graphics g;

public void init() {
contentArea = getContentPane();
contentArea.setBackground(Color.cyan);

What is it telling you console-wise.  For me, it's not initializing the applet, which tells me either your html file to call the applet is wrong, or your initialization routine is wrong.

What version of Java is your app targeting?

ok heres my html source:

Code: [Select]

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor="000000">
<center>
<applet
code = "moonPhases.class"
width = "1000"
height = "1000"
>
</applet>
</center>
</body>
</html>

That was generated when i clicked 'java applet' under 'choose project type' when i created a new project.

edit: Blak, i dont think that has anything to do with it.

yes im definitely sure.

Also grph, My Init routine should be fine. That is how i learned in Adv. computer science class how to create an init for an applet, so theres hopefully nothing wrong there.

I just cant seem to figure out why something like this wouldnt work.. :S I know its programmed correctly because it works when i run the html file from jcreator, but when the html file is looked at in chrome... it just doesnt run

Version "1.6.0_21".

I just figured that since the console said that there was an unsupported class version error, it had something to do with the version. Guess my thinking is flawed, or the console is spewing out randomness.

EDIT: Snake, doesn't run in IE9, either.

Try building with a '-target 1.6' - that might work

Java applets are browser independent. Well no sense in derailing this topic any further.. I need to get to the bottom of this. This fix will be a reference to another new java applet im currently creating which is also similarly structured, being I just used that applet as a base to work from since i havnt created anything recently and almost forgot it completely after not using the language a lot.

edit: how do I pass arguments in the java compiler?

edit 2: ti, I'm running 1.7.. should i just change that to -target 1.7?

edit 3: this did nothing :(

I think I read somewhere that 1.4 or 1.5 is the most common version of Java installed, but I'm not sure if that would help.

current version: 1.7. This is what I updated my JDK and JRE to. As long as I am not using any functions that are not defined in a JDK version, I am fine.

No, I know that's the new version, but it's not the most commonly installed one (I think). That's what I meant.

I FIXED IT!!!

The reason is, java (the regular download everyone installs at java.com) is only 1.6u26 which in my case i had it compiled in jdk 1.7 whereas 1.7 =/= 1.6u26 so I reinstalled the old version and BAM it worked :D :D :D
