whats the error?

First thing I see is that you missed semicolons on the following lines:

order.addActionListener(this)
food.addActionListener(this)

another thing ... quick paste into eclipse and it suggests that you cast "this" with (ActionListener) and (ItemListener) .... Also I think you may have meant addItemListener on the second food.add* line.

order.addActionListener((ActionListener)this);
food.addItemListener((ItemListener)this);
order.addActionListener((ActionListener)this);
food.addItemListener((ItemListener)this);

//edit ... left off the semicolons myself that time ;)

Something is wrong with how you use the ActionListner().

//order.addActionListener((ActionListener)this);
//food.addItemListener((ItemListener)this);
//order.addActionListener((ActionListener)this);
//food.addItemListener((ItemListener)this);

in the init() method, those are cuasing the applet not to intialize correctly and why do you do it twice?

EDIT: I suspect that you are handleing the action events wrong.

Defiledgrave 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 3 · 2004-04-10T01:12:10+00:00

Alright well I took out the extra two lines so they aren't in there twice and instead of using the keyword this I applied them to thier respective areas....price and output but it still won't initialize I even tried it keeping it with the keyword this and still no progress.......

order.addActionListener((ActionListener)output);
food.addItemListener((ItemListener)price);

order.addActionListener((ActionListener)this);
food.addItemListener((ItemListener)this);

niether way works :-(

EDIT----ok well I worked on it some more and I got the applet to initalize when I commented out the second line so I had
order.addActionListener((ActionListener)output);
//food.addItemListener((ItemListener)price);
it initialized but didn't do anything when I entered a int into the text box and hit the order button

I don't know why it won't initalize with the second line

check how the action is processed, and make sure the html code is correctly calling the applet with all tags closed, personally i dont know why it wont intialize either, looks correct.

Defiledgrave 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 5 · 2004-04-11T05:06:57+00:00

that is the html code I'm using.....it's a simple webpage used to just test the code I'm getting a cast exception on line 30 and 31 which are the addActionListener and the addItemListener....I don't know why I can't figure it out.....:-( I e-mailed my professor with the question...I'm gonna see what he has to say about it.....and I'll work on it some more....if you looked at it some more that would be great one of these times my eyes are going to start bleeding from staring too long.......

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class grocerystore extends Applet{  

        private Button order = new Button("Order");
        private Label price = new Label("Your price will appear here");
        private Choice food = new Choice();
 private TextField quantity = new TextField(3);
        double quantitySelected;
 double eggs = 1.90;
 double milk = 1.47;
 double bread = 2.12;
 double total;
 display output = new display();

public void init()      {
                add(order);
                add(quantity);
  add(food);
                        food.add("Select your food");
                        food.add("Eggs");
                        food.add("Milk");
                        food.add("Bread");
  add(price);
  add(output);
  output.setSize(300,300);
  food.addItemListener(this.output);
  order.addActionListener(this.output);

        }
class display extends Canvas 
  implements ActionListener, ItemListener {
         public int itemSelected;   

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent action) {

         quantitySelected = new Double(quantity.getText()).doubleValue();
         itemSelected = food.getSelectedIndex();


         if (itemSelected==1)
   total = quantitySelected * eggs;
  if (itemSelected==2)
   total = quantitySelected * milk;
  if (itemSelected==3)
   total = quantitySelected * bread;  

}          

        }

public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event)   {
  itemSelected = food.getSelectedIndex();  


         if (itemSelected==1)
                        price.setText("The price of a dozen eggs is " + eggs );
       if (itemSelected==2)
   price.setText("The price of a quart of milk is " + milk);
  if (itemSelected==3)
   price.setText("The price of a loaf of bread is " + bread);
   }

        if (itemSelected==1){
  g.drawString("You purchased " + quantitySelected + "dozen eggs",50,50);
  g.drawString("for a total of " + total,50,60);
         }

thnx :) glad to here you got it working

I think if you changed "grocerystore.java" to "grocerystore.class" you might get it to display in your browser.

<html>
<body>
<applet code="grocerystore.java"width="250"height="250">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
that is the html code I'm using.....it's a simple webpage used to just test the code I'm getting a cast exception on line 30 and 31 which are the addActionListener and the addItemListener....I don't know why I can't figure it out.....:-( I e-mailed my professor with the question...I'm gonna see what he has to say about it.....and I'll work on it some more....if you looked at it some more that would be great one of these times my eyes are going to start bleeding from staring too long.......
