}

Hi guys.. This code I have posted up is from class LoginApplet which gets called by an ActionPerformed from another class.... I had no problem with it set as JFrame (the rubric for this assignment was in JApplet). Now when I converted it to JApplet problems show up. I am not familiar with JApplet, and is there anything wrong with the code showing up as blank when ran?

Get rid of

public void setVisible(boolean b) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
}

It's preventing the applet from thinking it's visible...
