Can somebody help me figure out why this isn't working?

I am trying to make a madlibs javascript thing. I have no idea what is wrong. Keep in mind I'm pretty much a noob at any web coding besides HTML, which I'm good at. So I don't know about PHP and stuff. I used a tutorial to make this.

From what I have seen, you are not developing in HTML or even in Javascript; you are developing in Java.

First what do this all fit? I will try to make it simple as much as I can ^^;

HTML is a language to format and organize information. ( CSS is what gives the aspect ). Javascript is a language ( generally) to make webpage dynamic ( principally, you click on a button and it doesn't need to reload the page to interact ).

Java is a language to develop software or game, like Minecraft. It can do everything. Right now, you are running a Java applet, that is Java inside your web browser. Consequently, we can't check your code in the .java file. ( .class are not human readable, they are compiled to bytecode ).

Now I'm not sure about what is wrong with your applet? What is the problem? Because I don't see any. I just think that using Java for this is overkill.

What exactly is not working Julia? I tried it out and the output seems fine.

I am also not seeing any applet... I wonder if it doesn't show up for certain browsers...

Reason I'm using Java is because that's what the tutorials I read said to do.

So, the problem is more your browser/OS. Do you have Java installed? ( weird since it should be as you did compile the .java ) Are applet allowed in your web browser? Most common browser should display the applet if Java is installed.

I installed that and restarted Chrome but it still doesn't show up. However, it works fine in Firefox, but the input fields are in the wrong order.

I wonder if there is a way to change the applet's appearance, font, etc.

My Chrome is asking permission to run the Applet. You should check if Java is enabled in the option or not.

For, fonts, you can change, but since I haven't done Java Applet for ages, I'm not sure about what Java classes you are using. Giving us the .java would make it simpler to help you. For now, I will based my example on assumption.

If it's a JTextField, then, there is the setFont(Font t) method.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/ap ... Field.html

You must have something like

Code:

//Required import

public class MyClass extends JApplet{
JTextField textField;

public void init(){
textfield=New JTextField();
textfield.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", Font.PLAIN, 12));
//your code
}
}

Something like this. Just to warn, I didn't test xD.

For the appearance in general.. hmm… you can do a lot of stuff but I don't know what you want.
