lots of useful feedback here

where's DigiNut??

he usually knows his shit

i guess it's a big non-leet of me to be askin in the first place, but ah well

i plan on makin loads of wee web apps and givin them away for free..

so far i've made a guestbook, user tracking devices.. and now i'm gonna start applets

My Swing is a little bit rusty, but does that init method ever actually get executed? If not, then you're trying to draw a string that hasn't been initialized.

What exactly is the error?

only msg i get is:

"applet ticket notinited"

which is in the status bar of the browser.

thank goodness! DigiNut is on the case!

Oh, I see it.

You called the applet "ticker" and tried to embed class "ticket" into the HTML.

Doofus.

cheers Digi!

had it not been for that huge R i never would have found it

now that ur there, are there any timer functions in java? i'm sure there are, know of any?

in VB there was a thing u could use.. set a timer, then every 100 (or whatever u set it to) milliseconds a piece of code would be executed..

ne suggestions?
