JApplet Problem - please help!

[laurare]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to make this calculator program work as an applet AND as an application. I tried using:

public class calcg extends JApplet implements ActionListener{

in many different ways, but it didn't work. Can sombody help me make it work?

Below is the source code for my calculator program.

Thanks in advance,

Why didn't:

public class calcg extends JApplet implements ActionListener{

work?

[laurare]

I don't know, it didn't come out right, it would appear in a popup window, not in the browser window

In the applet, it also throws ClassCastException......dont know why, did you try it, what should I do???

Thanks,

Maria
