no display

i not that good with applets and this is my second one. i am trying to add components to different Jpanels. then i put those Jpanels in the JPanel panel. but when i run the applet it shows nothing.

note: panel is the main JPanel

public void init(){
		//button groups
		ButtonGroup skill = new ButtonGroup();
		skill.add(noob);
		skill.add(good);
		skill.add(r_good);
		skill.add(beast);
		
		ButtonGroup y_n = new ButtonGroup();
		y_n.add(yes);
		y_n.add(no);
		
		//panels
		id_panel.add(ID);
		id_panel.add(your_ID);
		
		rank_panel.add(rank);
		rank_panel.add(your_rank);
		
		BoxLayout box = new BoxLayout(WAR_panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
		WAR_panel.setLayout(box);
		WAR_panel.add(rifle);
		WAR_panel.add(sniper);
		WAR_panel.add(knife);
		WAR_panel.add(flame);
		WAR_panel.add(RPG);
		WAR_panel.add(grenade);
		
		
		BoxLayout box2 = new BoxLayout(skill_panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
		skill_panel.setLayout(box2);
		skill_panel.add(noob);
		skill_panel.add(good);
		skill_panel.add(r_good);
		skill_panel.add(beast);
		
		
		BoxLayout box3 = new BoxLayout(yn_panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
		yn_panel.setLayout(box3);
		yn_panel.add(yes);
		yn_panel.add(no);
		
		//displaying the components
		
		
		panel.add(id_panel);
		panel.add(rank_panel);
		panel.add(what_r_u);
		panel.add(add_info);
		panel.add(yn_panel);
		
	}
}

And what exactly does that mean? I don't see where you add this "main panel" to the JApplet or set it as the JApplet's contentPane.

what i meant was a made a Jpanel and named it panel. that is the panel where all of the components are going. then i made other Jpanels like WAR_panel,skill_panel and added them to the Jpanel panel too.

Then what did you do with this panel named panel so that you could see it? JPanels are containers not windows.

Have you read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Make Applets for a working example?

never mind i found out my problem. i didn't add the panel

panel.add(skill_panel);
		panel.add(yn_panel);
		panel.add(blank);
		panel.add(send);
		
		[COLOR="Red"]add(panel);[/COLOR]

very well. watch out, all panels and also the applet has a flowlayout and i think for placing all your panels a borderlayout is more appropriate. let me know.
