New to Java

hi,

for some reason I cant get a test applet I made to load in a webpage. The applet just displays a rectangle and works fine in netbeans but is just an X in a box when I try to load it in a webpage and I get the message : Loading Java applet failed.

The code is:

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

/**

 */
public class TestJApplet extends Applet {
    
    /** Creates a new instance of TestApplet */
    public TestApplet() {
    }
    
    public void init()
    {
        
    }
    
    public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
        g.drawRect(30,30,30,30);
    }    
}

and I use

<applet code="TestApplet.class" width="100" height="100"> </applet>

within the HTML code to load the applet.

The TestApplet.class is in the same folder as the index.html file that calls it.

What could be the reason for this?

Thanks
