The text and the buttons are overlapping

[Mikki]

Hi ,
Can someone help me here. Please find my code below for your reference. When I run this program, the Buttons are on top of the "Welcome New Hire"text. What am I doing wrong. I am not using Swings but awt.

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.Container;;


public class NewHireApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener
{
	public Button setup = new Button("SETUP");
	public Button training = new Button("TRAINING");
	private String s = "Welcome New Hire";
		
	public void init()
	{
		setBackground(Color.blue.darker());
		setSize(300, 300);
		
		add(setup);
		setup.addActionListener(this);
		add(training);
		training.addActionListener(this);
		
		
		
	}//end of init()
	
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		Font myFont1 = new Font("Serif",Font.BOLD,24);
		Font myFont2 = new Font("Serif",Font.BOLD,12);
		Dimension d = getSize();
		
		//determine x and y co-ordinates
		FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
		int x = d.width/2 - fm.stringWidth(s)/2;
		int y = d.height/2 - fm.getHeight();
		g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
		g.setFont(myFont1);
		g.drawString(s , x, 20);
		g.setFont(myFont2);
		g.drawString("Welcome new hire to UB. This applet will help you get started.Have fun", x, 280);
	}//end of paint()

	@Override
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
	}

}

I'm not sure what you expect to happen differently. If the text was drawn on top of the button, so would the background of the Applet, and the button would not be visible.
