I am having difficulty calling other JApplets from main JApplet class when I run my code in the html tag on the university web server: I have a library database application designed as an JApplet, when I run it on eclipse and press the patron function button or Administrative function button, both JApplets from patron class and Administrative class work fine but when I run it on the university webserver and try to run it in the html tag and try to press the patron function or Administrative function button nothing happens no popup JFrame from any of those classes’ JApplets appear, I am using html class tags like this:
<center>
<applet code="library/MainMenu.class" height="400" width="500">
</applet>
</center>
Any sugguestion what should I add or eliminate to run the project or what am I doing wrong, I am kinda confused. Thank You Below is all the code I have so far:
