Java table applet drawing blank screen

Question

Hi,
I got a simple table applet which is supposed to show the table in accordance with the specs set in the applet. However, when I am running this applet it is showing blank gray screen. Cannot figure out where the problem is. Any help is appreciated in advance. Thanks.
THE CODE:
// Imports
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class SimpleTable extends Applet {
     private     JPanel     topPanel;
     private     JTable     table;
     private     JScrollPane scrollPane;
          public void init()
          setSize( 300, 200 );
          setBackground( Color.gray );
     //Create a panel to hold all other components
          topPanel = new JPanel();
          topPanel.setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
          // Create columns names
          String columnNames[] = { "Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3" };
          // Create some data
          String dataValues[][] =
               { "12", "234", "67" },
               { "-123", "43", "853" },
               { "93", "89.2", "109" },
               { "279", "9033", "3092" }
          // Create a new table instance
          table = new JTable( dataValues, columnNames );
          // Add the table to a scrolling pane
          scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
          topPanel.add( scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER );
}

You forgot to add your topPanel to the applet.
