can't load applets!!!!!!!!!

[Ineluki]

I'm new to Java, and I can't get my applets to load in IE(I'm using a late version.). I've seen the troubleshooting section, and I've checked my applet name and other settings a million and two times, and I still can't get my applets to load. I get a plain grey box; when I run my mouse over the spot where the applet should be, it flashes 'class...not found' very quickly in the status bar. My class files are in the same directory as the html file. I'm just using a simple <applet code='blah.class'></applet> tag. I'm not setting the codebase attribute. I don't have a '*.jar' file. Does this matter? Where to '*.jar' files come from? I thought they came from a compression utility. Help!!!!!!!!!!!! These are VERY simple applets that don't need any special class files.

A billion thank you's to anyone who can help me!

what version of java did you use to compile your program? if it's version 1.4.1 then ie can't load it, try the 1.3.1 (i use this one )

I don't know; I'm using JBuilder 8 form Borland, if that helps. Maybe there is a setting in it to change to different versions of Java. Also, could it have something to do with 'Swing Components?' I just really need to use a textfield, label, and a button.

Thank you Red Baron!

I just noticed a setting that says: "Target VM: Java 2 SDK, v 1.2 and later.' I guess that this would be Java 1.2 Anyway, let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Can you post your code?

Sorry, just solved it. It was my compiler. Had to set it to "all sdk's", and it worked. Thanks anyway!!!
