Why handleEvent is not working in AppleMac IE ?!

Question

Hi There
I am trying to write an editor which should work in Apple MAC and Windows !!.I wrote the following classes and working fine in Windows IE/Netscape and MAC Netscape, But not working in MAC IE. Someone please point out me where i am making mistake. I used JDK1.0.2 version to combile the classes.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class testApplet extends Applet
public void init()
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
editableArea = new EditableArea();
editableArea.setBackground(Color.yellow);
add("Center", editableArea);
EditableArea editableArea;
import java.awt.*;
public class EditableArea extends Canvas
String s = "";
public boolean handleEvent(Event evt)
if (evt.id==401)
if(evt.key >= 32 && evt.key <= 255)
char c = (char)evt.key;
s = s + c;
repaint();
return super.handleEvent(evt);
public void paint( Graphics g )
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawString( s,5,15);
