Plz solve this simple problem.

Question

here is my program code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Coordinate extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
private JLabel lb1, lb2;
private JTextField ta1, ta2;
private String name;
//Initialize the applet
public void init() {
Container ct = getContentPane();
ct.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
lb1 = new JLabel("Enter your name");
ct.add(lb1);
ta1 = new JTextField(10);
ct.add(ta1);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
name = e.getActionCommand();
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
g.drawString(name, 100, 80);
It execute correctly. Enter a name in JTextField and display by paint method. Hope u understand it. So, my quest is why the name cant display inside paint method. Any extra step to do? Help!! Thank you.

When you post code, please post it between [code] and [/code] tags (you can use the "code" button on the message posting screen). It makes your code much easier to read and prevents accidental markup from the forum software.
[code]class Example {
