Change
ChatActionListener listener = new ChatActionListener();
to
ChatActionListener listener = new ChatActionListener(getAppletContext());
And rewrite the listener like this:
class ChatActionListener implements ActionListener
private AppletContext ac;
public ChatActionListener(AppletContext ac) {
    this.ac = ac;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
if(ae.getActionCommand().equalsIgnoreCase("Chat"))
System.out.println("Clicked:" +ae.getActionCommand());
try{
URL url1 = new URL("YellowPages1.html");
ac.showDocument(url1);
catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
}
