Help - Applet Question ???

Question

Hi, I thought I post it yesterday, but I could not find it.
I write a simple applet as follow:
public class demoapplet extends Applet {
private StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(1000);
public void init() { }
public void start() {
//display start info
disp("start");
buff = processXML();
sendHTTP(buff);
//display start info
disp("end");
public void disp(string st) {
Graphics g;
g.drawString(st,10,60);
public stringbuffer processXML() { ...}
public void sendHTTP(stringbuffer buf) {... }
My question:
1. How to init Graphics object?
If I use paint method, I can not pass string variable.
2. How to send stringbuffer to another application
via HTTP?
3. Any problem I put my processXML and sendHTTP in start method? It only be called once when user load html page.
Many thanks

Hey Hi! david...
first of all make your questions a bit more clear,
about getting the graphics object you can get it by
Graphics g=getGraphics();
in the Applet.
Also about getting the string in the paint method of the Applet. you can declare a string variable in the class and it would be accessible in the paint method.
I first of all suggest you to get your basics right ..
