Need help with Swing Applets 1

[fid]

I'm a web programmer, but new to Java.
I'm trying to write some Java Applets to learn, but getting hung at this error.

when i try using Swing Applets, they run fine with NetBeans and run fine compiled and run with AppletViewer.
but when I try loading it into Internet Explorer, I get errors. I've gotten regular AWK Applets to run fine in the browser, just having problems using Swing.

Here's my program and the compile so you can see what I did.
Hope it's not too much spam
Thanks

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class JTestPane extends javax.swing.JApplet {

public JTestPane() {
initComponents();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Hello!"
}

private void initComponents() {
jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
getContentPane().setLayout(new java.awt.GridBagLayout());
java.awt.GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints1;

jLabel1.setText("I Am Here"

gridBagConstraints1 = new java.awt.GridBagConstraints();
getContentPane().add(jLabel1, gridBagConstraints1);

}
private javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1;
}

I've written AWK Applets using java.applet.Applet and they run fine in my browser
seems when I try using Swing components it doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?

Remember Swing has undergone many changes over the life of Java. Browsers, especially IE, use older versions of jdk. I think IE now uses 1.1. So precisely for this reason, it is not good practice to develop Applets that use the features of the newer jdks. When in doubt you should always deploy the applet with any dependant classes jared with it. Wushutwist

If you use Swing classes, you need to convert your htl using java's html converter, downloadable from java.sun.com for the version of java you are using.
