when i load the applet, the message displayed in IE status bar is 'load: Test can't be instantiated' and NS status bar message 'Applet Test exception: java.lang.NullPointerException'.
well here's my simple applet code :
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class TestEditor extends JApplet {
JButton
b1 = new JButton("Button 1"),
b2 = new JButton("Button 2");
public void init() {
public TestEditor()
Container cp = getContentPane();
cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
cp.add(b1);
cp.add(b2);
here is the html applet tag code :
<APPLET name="myapplet" codebase="." CODE="TestEditor.class" WIDTH=420 HEIGHT=570>
</APPLET>

Hi,
Just install the JRE plugin from java.sun.com/plugin.
Then you to use this following code for running the applet with plugin.
<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3" width="180" height="20"
align="baseline" code="TestApplet" codebase="/javacall"
MAYSCRIPT=true
pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/plugin-install.html">
<NOEMBED>
No JDK 1.2 support for APPLET!!
</NOEMBED>
</EMBED>
Also please refer this URL for HTML Converter.

Also please refer Java Plugin HTML Specification.
