Applet doesnt run in netscape

Question

I have made an applet that runs under the applet viewer.
In netscape the button, labels, and textfields show,
but the button doesn't produce the remainder of the run,
as evidenced by no painting, like it does in the other situations.
It also runs as an application on a frame.
Where do I look for problems?
These are all of my imports:
import java.awt.TextArea;
import java.awt.TextField;
import java.awt.Label;
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.Graphics;

Answer 1

My Applet is really kind of neat and on one applet panel,
and I want to share it on the browser in the classroom.
My Applets used to work with Netscape on my computer.
Thinking that I probably lost a plugin,
I read as much as I could about plugins.
But I am really lost.
It seems unfortunate that one
has to know so much about things
peripherally to what one is trying to do.
It makes programming much harder
than it used to be a few years ago.
Can someone help me with some suggestions?
Or does the lack of responses mean that others don't know?
Or are they snubbing me? I give up.
