title: Java Applets Not Loading; "Start: App Not Initialized"
body: <p>I don't quite get this. I downloaded a class, put it on my website, and then created an HTML page with the basic applet tags, and the app showed up just fine. </p>
  
  <p>But when I downloaded the source code and compiled it myself, all that shows up on my site is a blank applet with the error on the bottom of the browser, "start: app not initialized." </p>
  
  <p>I tried writing a simpler code, such as</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.awt.*; 
  import java.applet.*;
  
  public class GuiExamplar extends Applet { 
      Button okButton; 
  
      public void init() { 
      setLayout(null); 
          okButton = new Button("A button"); 
          okButton.setBounds(20,20,100,30); 
      add(okButton); 
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And it does the same thing. It compiles just fine, but doesn't show up on my browser. </p>
  
  <p>Actually, any of my browsers. I tried Opera, Firefox, and Chrome. But the applet just shows a blank gray square.   </p>
