Grabbing Paramaters from a web page.

[gjon]

I am trying to grab text from the paramaters values in an html file. Well, before I get to that point, I am getting an error in my applet during compile time. The error message reads:
cannot find symbol - method getParamater(java.lang.String)
at the line:
pString = getParamater("nameofparam");
is highlighted. This is in BlueJ.

import java.applet.*; 
import java.awt.*; 
import javax.swing.*; 

class MessagePanel2 extends JPanel { 

    public void paintComponent(Graphics grafObj) { 
        super.paintComponent(grafObj); 
        grafObj.drawString(Wel3.myText, 50, 50); 
    } 
} 

public class Wel3 extends JApplet 
{ 
    // instance variables - replace the example below with your own 
    static String myText; 
     
     /** 
     * Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this JApplet that it 
     * has been loaded into the system. It is always called before the first 
     * time that the start method is called. 
     */ 
    public void init() 
    { 
         
        // provide any initialisation necessary for your JApplet 
        Container messageArea = getContentPane(); 
        String pString; 
        pString = getParamater("nameofparam"); 
         
        if (pString == null) 
            myText = "html page parameter missing"; 
        else myText = pString; 
         
        MessagePanel2 myMessagePanel = new MessagePanel2(); 
        messageArea.add(myMessagePanel); 
    } 
     
public void start() 
    { 
        // provide any code requred to run each time 
        // web page is visited 
    } 

    /** 
     * Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this JApplet that 
     * it should stop its execution. It is called when the Web page that 
     * contains this JApplet has been replaced by another page, and also 
     * just before the JApplet is to be destroyed. 
     */ 
    public void stop() 
    { 
        // provide any code that needs to be run when page 
        // is replaced by another page or before JApplet is destroyed 
    } 

     
    public void destroy() 
    { 
        // provide code to be run when JApplet is about to be destroyed. 
    } 

}
