{
	String Val;
	String[] brand = { "Arc Keyboard","Arc Mouse"};
	JLabel label = new JLabel("Select a brand");
	JButton button = new JButton("Generate");
	JComboBox brands = new JComboBox(brand);
	JPanel panel = new JPanel();
	JTextField box = new JTextField("           " + Val);

Why does your class extend JApplet and create a JFrame? Are you creating an Applet or a desktop application? Do you know the difference?

This is an applet, It will be going up on a website.

Then you'll likely want to delete the line where you create a new JFrame. It's unnecessary and may be a little misleading.
