    Hey there,

    I've got a java program that I want to put online, and it displays lots of text output (after creating a bunch of objects and messing around with them). I had thought that applets were simply a case of embedding them with the <applet> tag, but alas, I have to do even more tinkering :p

    Anywho, it seems System.out.print/ln doesn't work in applets, so what's the best way to display lots of text in a similar manner? The output will be something like:
    Ace of Clubs
    2 of Hearts
    5 of Spades
    9 of Hearts
    Jack of Clubs

    Ace of Clubs
    6 of Hearts
    9 of Spades
    10 of Hearts
    King of Clubs

    Ace of Clubs
    Ace of Hearts
    2 of Spades
    8 of Hearts
    Queen of Clubs

    Pair: 1
    Two pair: 0
    ...
    etc

    I've been googling, and most of the solutions seem to be more suitable for short bits of text and graphical stuff. I just want a text output with no graphical mumbo jumbo :)

    Cheers

    Use a JTextArea.

    Have you got your Java class extending JApplet? 
    public class DemoJApplet extends JApplet

    You know that it's not just the matter of using <applet> tag to embed application in HTML document???
    You have to extend JApplet and have init() method implemented...
