I am trying to work with and learn the swing items, like checkboxes. This is the code I have:

public class Testing extends JApplet {

    Container cp = getContentPane();
    JTextArea instruct = new JTextArea(10,30);
    JCheckBox c1 = new JCheckBox("Option 1");
    JCheckBox c2 = new JCheckBox("Option 2");
    JCheckBox c3 = new JCheckBox("Option 3");
    JCheckBox c4 = new JCheckBox("Option 4");
    
            
    public void init() {

        setOptions();
    }

    

    
    public void setOptions() {
        cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        cp.add(instruct);
        instruct.append("Select options:");
        cp.add(c1);
        cp.add(c2);
        cp.add(c3);
        cp.add(c4);
    }
}

The result is that only c4 (the checkbox labeled "Option 4") is displayed. What am I missing here?

Thanks.

Try changing the layout to a FlowLayout.

Is it something other than this

cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

that I have to do?

Nevermind, my browser was still loading on older version of the applet for some reason. This actually works.
