Hi all! I've come very close to finishing this applet of mine but I'm stuck on one last part.
The main purpose of this applet is just to fetch some data from a URL (read in 1 line, parse it, and display the data.) After starting this project, I found that applets couldn't access URLs unless they were signed applets. So after completing the applet the way it's meant to function, I signed the applet and it's still giving me errors. When I try loading the applet on a basic HTML page, it gives the Java symbol with the circling loading symbol around it but then it freezes.
I assume it has something to do with my URL function. Any help would be much appreciated, it's been giving me a huge headache ><
The problem lies within the Start() function. So you can skip down right to the problem. I figured I'd paste the whole program if anyone wanted to read through all the code. I know this function works outside of an applet so is there a way to fix this?

}Thanks in advance!
