    Default Simple rectangle display applet doesn't work in browser

    I got the code from a beginner's book called Big Java..

    Here's the error I get from Firefox:
    Java Code: 
    Java Plug-in 1.6.0_22
Using JRE version 1.6.0_22-b04 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM


java.lang.ClassFormatError: Incompatible magic value 1768779887 in class file RectangleApplet

	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Exception: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Incompatible magic value 1768779887 in class file RectangleApplet
    Here's the code:

    Java Code: 
    import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;

/* an applet that draws 2 rectangles*/
public class RectangleApplet extends JApplet{
	public void paint(Graphics g){
		/* Prepare extended graphics */
		Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
		
		/*Construct a rectangle and draw it*/
		Rectangle box = new Rectangle(15,15,60,60);
		g2.draw(box);
		
		/*Move rectangle 15 across and 20 down */
		box.translate(15, 20);
		
		/*Draw moved rectangle */
		g2.draw(box);
		
		
		
	}

}
    And the HTML that I used:
    XML Code: 
    <html>
<head>Rectangles</head>
<body>
<applet code="RectangleApplet.class" width="300" height="400">
</applet></body>
</html>
    Im using Eclipse, any help would be appreciated

    It looks like your .class file is corrupted.
    Create a new one and try again

    That number converts to the letters: impo
    Is your .class file a renamed .java file?

    Thanks for the response.

    I think I may know why. In Eclipse, I started a 'new class' file to make this, but when I ran it it was auto-saved as a '.java' file it didnt work in the html as this (should it have?), so then I manually changed the end of it to '.class'.

    I'll save it myself as .class this time and give it a go.

    Just saw your edit there, yes it is! I saw that number translated on a different site as that, I was thinking it was the 'import' part? But thats there in a class file too? Sorry if I seem a bit knucleheaded about this lol

    Tried it again. Every time I try to create a new class in eclipse, it saves it as a .java file and then I guess when I change it to .class it becomes corrupt..
    Anybody know how to overcome this?

    You need to ask someone about how to use the IDE. There is a part of this forum site for IDEs.

    Every time I try to create a new class in eclipse, it saves it as a .java file
    Have you tried compiling the .java source file? The output from a successful compile is a .class file.

    The class files can be found in the bin directory, not the src directory.

    But regardless, you should learn how to "Export" your project and create a jar file. The Eclipse help files can help with this.
