Using jdk1.2 pre_v2 I have a simple applet........ import java.awt.*; import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.event.*; public class FirstEvent extends Applet implements AdjustmentListener { private Scrollbar slider; private int sliderValue = 0; public void init() { slider = new Scrollbar(Scrollbar.HORIZONTAL ,0, 1, 0, 100); add(slider); slider.addAdjustmentListener(this); } public void paint(Graphics g) { g.drawString("Current value is " + sliderValue, 100,100); } public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) { sliderValue = slider.getValue(); repaint(); } } and here for the record is the html file..... <title> First Event applet </title> <applet code="FirstEvent.class" width=300 height=200> </applet> When I run this applet, I get some messages about missing dingbat fonts, but the applet still displays and runs without any problems. I went to the bug page and downloaded and installed the URW fonts, Now when I run the applet, the messages about dingbat fonts have disappeared, but the applet will not display text at all. Any ideas ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
