Multiplication Applet gone horribly awry.

Question

Some of the grunge:
I used a BorderLayout, with the multipliers in the NORTH and SOUTH. The table itself is a Panel, with a 9 by 9 GridLayout. The values are stored in the Panel as Labels, and each Label is also part of an array in the Applet. The applet implements TextListener to watch the multipliers, and as the multipliers change the appropriate Labels have their background and foreground colors changed with setBackground() and setForeground.
This is what i was supposed to do, im already way too late to actually pass this in for any credit at this point i just want to get it to work and understand how it works, here is the code i have:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.lang.String;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class multiplier extends Applet{
      Label First = new Label();
      int columnNumber, rowNumber;
      int idx = 0;
      String Labels[];
     TextField tf1 = new TextField();
     TextField tf2 = new TextField();
private TextArea txtarea = new TextArea();
     public void init(){
          Panel p = new Panel();
          p.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          p.add(tf1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          p.add(tf2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          Panel p2 = new Panel();
          p2.setLayout(new GridLayout(9,9));
          p.add(p2, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          for(rowNumber=1;rowNumber<=9;rowNumber++){
               //System.out.print(rowNumber + "\t   ");
               for(columnNumber=2;columnNumber<=9;columnNumber++){
                    //System.out.print(columnNumber*rowNumber + "\t   ");
               Labels[idx++]=(""+(columnNumber*rowNumber));
               //System.out.println(Arrays.toString(Labels));
               //System.out.print("\n");
}My first problem, my for loop generates the actual values for the multiplication table and they are stored in my Array called Labels, but how do i Add Labels into panel 2???
Thanks, any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

that line of code seemed to work perfectly but now something odd is happening. It compiled and ran without and exceptions, but it went right to a blank screen, but when i clicked reload it flashed the table i wanted with the text areas above and below it then went back to blank screen?!? heres the updated code:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.lang.String;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class multiplier extends Applet{
      Label First = new Label();
      int columnNumber, rowNumber;
      int idx = 0;
      String Labels[];
     TextField tf1 = new TextField();
     TextField tf2 = new TextField();
private TextArea txtarea = new TextArea();
     public void init(){
          Panel p = new Panel();
          p.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          p.add(tf1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          p.add(tf2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          Panel p2 = new Panel();
          p2.setLayout(new GridLayout(9,9));
          for(rowNumber=1;rowNumber<=9;rowNumber++){
               for(columnNumber=2;columnNumber<=9;columnNumber++){
               p2.add(new Label(" " + (columnNumber*rowNumber)));
               p.add(p2, BorderLayout.CENTER);
               this.add(p);
               //System.out.print("\n");
}
