[dickersonka]

new GridDrawingApplet();

you don't need to explicitly call paint

[localp]

new GridDrawingApplet();

you don't need to explicitly call paint

so how can i display the content of paint.. wat i am expecting here is to display the content of paint, from the main program.. how can i do that ??

[dickersonka]

sorry i assumed you knew where to place it

public static void main(String []args)
{
   new GridDrawingApplet();
}

[anil_forum]

an applet do not require main method
to run your code include the following method
public void init()
{
}
and one comment
//<applet code=GridDrawingApplet height=300 width=300></applet>

and run this code after compiling by writing
appletviewer GridDrawingApplet

and remove main method......
