JButton text not displaing on applet startup

I'm having a problem with the text of a button not showing up when the applet starts up. It just has the button with the background and the text doesn't show up until you mouse over the button (not by design). It only happens on startup and it's not consistant. It seems to only happen in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox. I'm using the java plugin Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_02-b09) and internet explorer 6.0.2800.1106. Here's the java code for the button:
public class AdminViewApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private static final String ADMIN_VIEW_URL = "/admin/view";
     private static final String LOGIN_ID = "loginId";
     private static final String TOKEN = "token";
     private static final String EXCEPTION = "exception";
     public void init() {
          Color backgroundColor = new Color(204,204,204);
          JButton adminViewButton = new JButton("Admin View");
adminViewButton.addActionListener(this);
          adminViewButton.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 11));
          adminViewButton.setMargin(new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5));
          adminViewButton.setBackground(backgroundColor); adminViewButton.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.LOWERED));
JPanel pane = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,1,0,0));
          pane.setBackground(backgroundColor);
pane.add(adminViewButton);
setContentPane(pane);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) { ... }
Here's the applet tag in the jsp:
     <applet archive="admin-view-applet.jar" code="com.healthpartners.share.applet.AdminViewApplet" width="80" height="28">
                    <param name="effectiveAccountId" value="<%= accountData.getAccountId() %>"></param>
                    <param name="realAccountId" value="<%= HPEnvironmentFactory.getHPEnvironment().getAccount(request.getUserPrincipal()).getAccountId() %>"></param>
               </applet>
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim

Try compiling on 1.4.2. I've had to drop 1.5 as it was getting too buggy, when I was using different browsers and OSs.

Problem with JButtons Text field not updating

Im working on a program (which has its full code included below incase its part of the problem) which wants to change a Jbutton's name during a program. The way I'm trying to make it change is by having a string, "test", be called "before update". then have the jbuttons text equal test. then, in an actionlistener, it changes string test to equal "after update". This doesn't update the Jbuttons text.
I don't get any errors when I press the button, but the buttons name is not updating. Whats causing the buttons name not to be updated?
Thanks for help in advance.

1) Strings are immutable meaning you can't change them.
2) Even if you could, the two test strings are completely different variables.
3) To change JButton text, you should call its setText method.
4) For a JButton to perform an action on button press, it needs to have an actionlistener added to it via the addActionListener(...) method.
5) Please read, study, and review the Sun Swing tutorials. You will benefit greatly from having a solid foundation in Swing basics before you try coding in Swing.
Good luck.

Reading and writing to a text file from an Applet

I'm a novice java programming with very little formal programming training. I've pieced together enough knowledge to do what I've wanted to do so far...
However, I've been unable to figure out how to read and write to a text file from an Applet (I can do it from a normal java program just fine). Here is a simple example of what I'd like to do (you can also look at it on my website: www.stat.colostate.edu/~leach/test02/test02.html). I know that there is some problem with permission/security but I'm not smart enough to understand what the error messages are telling or understand the few books I have. If anyone can tell me how to get this applet to work, or direct me to some referrences that would help me out I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Andy

public class test02 extends Applet {

B_go = new Button("GO");
c.gridx=1; c.gridy=0; c.gridwidth=1; c.gridheight=1;
c.weightx = c.weighty = 0.0;
B_go.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(f));
out.print("This is test02.txt");
out.close();
}catch(IOException e){**/}
}

I have almost the exact same problem, and I am in the same situation as you are with respects to the language.
I am simply trying to create a file and output some garbage to it but my applet always spits back a security violation. I've tried eliminating the restrictions on the applet runner I use but I still get the error.
My method:
debug = new Label() ;
debug.setLocation( 20, 20 ) ;
debug.setSize( 500, 15 ) ;
add( debug ) ;
// output
try
     OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream( new File( "" + getCodeBase() + "output.txt" ) ) ;
     byte[] buffer = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } ;
     file.write( buffer ) ;
     file.close() ;
} catch( Exception e )
     debug.setText( e.toString() ) ;
     Can anyone tell why this isnt working?

Refreshing a text field in an applet

I wrote a program which produced a lot of numbers as output. I installed this program into an applet by calling it from the start() override and converting the number to a string then placing it in a text field. However, it only seems to display the last number. I am getting the impression that the display is only refreshed when the applet finishes. Is this generally the case? I have put in a call to repaint() after each output but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I know the program is working because the numbers appear in the OUTPUT window in IDE too, as I have done a System.out.print.

Here is my crazy programme. I put a sleep in but no difference. If I append to the buffer then all goes on the same line, which is not what I want. Also all appear at once when the program completes, but I want to watch this thing running. It produces prime numbers and increasing mp makes it produce lots and lots of them.

JEditorPane can not display the applet contained in a html

We know that class JEditorPane can be used to display Html pages. but it has limitation. When a Html page contains Applet, it can not display the applet! Does anyone know if there's any solution for this problem?

Hi, i do the 'CREATE_TEXT', after the PO created,   the PO created correctly except the Long Text.
THE CODE:
*********************1*********************
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
        orderdata    = wa_po
      IMPORTING
        return       = rt
        order_number = aufnr
        order_type   = otype.
Then i got a AUFNR,
**********************2**********************
CONCATENATE sy-mandt aufnr INTO t_name.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CREATE_TEXT'
        EXPORTING
          fid         = 'KOPF'
          flanguage   = 'E'
          fname       = t_name
          fobject     = 'AUFK'
          save_direct = 'X'
          fformat     = '*'
        TABLES
          flines      = it_text

          no_init     = 1
          no_save     = 2
          OTHERS      = 3.
and SY-SUBRC is 0.
the long text also generated, but can not displayed on the CO03

JButton can not fire ActionEvent

Hi,
There is a problem found on JRE 1.5 Update 4on Windows XP for a JButton in my application.
Here is the short description of the app.
There are ImageIcons loaded into JButtons. There JButtons are added to a JPanle. The JPanle is then add to a JScrollPane. The scroll pane itself is added as a menu item for a Popmenu. When I click the image icon of the button, it will invoke the action listener's actionPerfromed method. The action listener has been earlier added to the JButtons.
It workked with JRE 1.4.0 but it fail witj JRE 5.0 Update 4. It is like a bug to me. Or the JButton class stops deliver action events when it is part of a menu item. Any idea why?
J.

Hey, good morning, Jaspre
I found a mistake in my problem statement. You should add a JMenu to the JPopupMenu and add the JScrollPane to the JMenu.
Maybe the code should not add a JMenu to a JPopupMenu, but it's there in the code. Below is a test which I modify from yours. It does not show the dialog on 1.5.0.4 runtime.
This test case also shows 2 other possible bugs.
1.The border text for the JButtons do not position at the right place using JRE 1.5.0.4.
2.The JScrollPane's behaviour is very strange so that users' experience will not be satisfied.
For each description, please run it against JRE 1.4.0 and 1.5.0.5 to see what I mean.
Thanks
Jack

SMS texts, not Imessages, on multiple phones with the same Apple ID

Is it possible that outgoing and incoming SMS texts, not imessages, could be seen on two seperate Iphones that share the same Apple ID? I'm wondering because I have been SMS texting a friend about a gift for my husband and I'm wondering if he was able to read them.
Thanks!

Outgoing or Incoming texts? I was texting with a person with an iphone that is one the same network, if that matters. But they were all green, so i know they were SMS.

Save as text not working

When I try to save a PDF as text, my document is empty. Also, it appears I only have the option of saving as accessible text, not plain text. I am using the latest version (8.1.2). Anyone able to do this successfully?

I have found this does work, but only with Acrobat Pro. You must use save as, accessable text (plain text doesnt work with the document that I have been using).
I have tried the SAVE AS TEXT option with Adobe Reader, versions 6, 7 & 8. I wonder why that option is even available.

Why is the text not the visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?

Long story short:
I've created a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and saved it as PDF. With the .pdf open now in Acrobat Reader 9.4.1 I have enabled the protection over the .pdf file by only allowing Printing and saved the protected .pdf. All of these actions are made on Windows 7 machine. Now when trying to open the protected .pdf on Mac (with Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Preview) the .pdf opened only shows the lines and bullets but not the text.
Why is the text not visible in the protected PDF opened on Mac?
(is this bug or a "feature"?)
Note: the protected .pdf looks good on Windows 7 and it works on Mac if the .pdf has no protection.
Thanks!

A. What application are you using to add the protection? Reader cannot add any file security and I don't think the PDF feature of Word will either.
B. Mac Preview has issues with PDF standards so there may be some features that you will experience issues with that have no workarounds.
C. Have you checked the file after adding security to see if all fonts are embedded?

Why is predictive text not working on my iPhone 5s anymore

Why is predictive text not working on my iphone anymore

Actually, I just found the answer to my issue in this thread: The type correct/predict function for mail and text in iOS 8.0.2 was working fine then suddenly disappeared and reverted to the old style. I've checked all settings that seemed appropriate. How do I restore? I actually liked the new version.
Which says "a thin gray bar with a white dash in the middle of it immediately above the keyboard, you can reopen the suggestions by sliding up with one finger on the white dash."
That did it.
I too have noticed a change, it seems with the new IOS update. My Predictive setting is on, but it seems before it would come up more often in predicting words and also give me a few choices. Now, it's not coming up as much and only providing one 'predictive' word which is not always right. This change is not very useful.

The text 'Not Virus Scanned' is prepended to my subject lines

In iCloud (mac.com) messages I send, the text
"[Not Virus Scanned]" - it is being pre-pended to the subject line.
I hope that someone in the Apple/iCloud operations facility will actually look at what your
systems are doing. And I hope it is not the user named "Winston Churchill".
Background:
Back in August 2012, someone asked whether Apple was virus scanning emails:
John W 1980

I reveived a password protected pdf by email. The subject line was marked [Not Virus Scanned]. Was this mark applied by the iCloud server?
iCloud

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, it wasn't added by Apple
See the answer in context
I have attached an email header (edited for privacy) to show this:
"Oracle Communications Messaging Server" running on st11p00mm-asmtp004.mac.com
Which is handling the messages, is running Fsecure Proofpoint, or something that is claiming to
be - SO apparently iCloud IS doing virus scanning, and has chosen to corrupt our Email subject lines
rather than simply stick to the conventional behavior of using SMTP headers to flag virus scan status.

Subject: [Not Virus Scanned] Re: ....
---- end of attachment ----

We're all just users here. Neither Apple nor anyone from the 'iCloud operations facility' monitors these posts.
Nobody here has any inside knowledge of under what circumstances any emails are 'edited' (if in fact they are) by any email systems between sender and recipient.
In 12 years of using Apple's email systems I have never seen a single email subject changed. However prepending text is not 'corruption'. Corruption means the data is unreadable/inaccessible. Adding a few extra characters does not make the subject unreadable.
All responsible email providers scan email for viruses. From Google searches it appears that such a message is added by some virus scanners to the subject only when an email attachment cannot be read (such as a password protected file, or a deeply nested zip file) and it serves as a warning to the recipient to exercise caution before opening the email. How many users routinely check SMTP headers before opening potentially damaging emails?
