Using two layout managers in two panels but they are combining

[pandimus]

As I said before, the intent is to create an applett with 2 layout manager on two panels. the first panel is above the second panel. The first using the gridbaglayout manager. The second I will be using the borderlayout manager.
Unfortunatly my panels seem to be over each other. the first panel seems to be left of the second panel

Another thing . In my first panel i am supposed to have three lines with several objects on each line. I/e lables and txt boxes. but they are too far spread apart. Any help would be much appreciated. Here is my code.

Sorry the code is not entirely complete. I

I think you need to specify where each component is added.
In a border layout, this would add the menuBar to top of the container.

add(menuBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);

Actually i was able to fix the problem of the top panel impeding on the bottom one.. this is what i have so far.

[nothing]

could you make a main panel, give that something like a box layout and then add the other two panels into that...?

Actually thats what i had to do..Thanks..
