i do use imageicon and it displays properly on my gui... but when i convert to japplet it gives all sort of error. what am i doing wrongly?

If book0.jpg is not on the same machine where the applet resides, you can not reach it. You just can not reach it from you applet. To access local file system of the user, you need to sign your applet..

how do i signed my applet?

[levent]

Try searching on google. There are several resources to read. One of them is below:

How to sign an applet (and get it to work)

[Simmy]

ok i signed it sucessfully... the applet is showing.. but my image is not... i'm using

Quote:

picture = new JLabel();
picture.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder (EtchedBorder.RAISED));
picture.setIcon(new ImageIcon(new ImageIcon("book0.jpg").getImage());
getContentPane().add(picture, BorderLayout.EAST);

what could be the problem?

[levent]

Getting same error?

[Simmy]

no there is no error... the gui is showed in the Firefox now... but the picture ain't showing... and i can't look at the console.

[Simmy]

ok i found out that it will only work with IE... and when i place all the picture files on my desktop... is there a way to make it load the picture from it's current directory?(i mean the jar directory).
