Applet won't work

[truthnet]

I have a applet on a web page that works fine with an older IE browser, but it won't work with foxfire and Java plug-in. All I get is a red "x" in the box.If I pull up the Java console it says something about not being legal. I don't know but I think It has something to do with IE not using Java, they have their own system. I think they had some trouble with Java over this.

Here is the page that has the applet.

If you use Java 1.4, go into the control panel and there should be a category that says Java Plug-in. Open that up and on the "Advanced" tab, make sure that a Sun JRE or SDK is selected and not the Microsoft one.

When I open your page, I also cannot view the applet. But my console gives this error:

load: Particles.class is not public or has no public constructor.

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class sun.applet.AppletPanel can not access a member of class Particles with modifiers ""

This looks like a scoping error of some sort, although I am not sure.

IE reports the same thing; fix your code (it's goosed)
