I’m trying to get a Java Applet to display on a webpage. The applet runs in Eclipse, but does nothing on the webpage.
For reference here is the applet (no, it’s not complete):

package TestProg.webClient;

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;

public class UserLogin extends Applet {
    String accountId = "";

    public void init() {
        TextField username = new TextField(10);
        TextField password = new TextField(10);
        Button login = new Button("   Log In   ");
        add(username);
        add(password);
        add(login);
    }
}

And here is the HTML code:

<body>
  <center>
    <div id="title"><h1>UserLogin</h1></div>
  </center>
  <applet code="sp.jar" width="400" height="100" alt="This isn't working"></applet>
</body>

I’ve also tried embedding with <object> and <embed>, have tried with both Chrome and Firefox on a Linux machine, and for some reason took the .class file out of the .jar and tried that.
Absolutely nothing displays on the webpage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I discovered what the problem was, and there seems to be a severe lacking of this knowledge out there….

    The HTML tag should look like this…

    <applet code=NameOfPackage.NameOfApplet archive=NameOfApplet.jar width=300 height=300>

    Thanks to all who helped…
