Here's my HTML file:

 

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Hangman</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<applet code="Hangman.jar" width="500" height ="200" codebase="." archive="file:/C:/Java/Hangman/" alt="Your browser understands the <APPLET> tag but isn't running the applet, for some reason."

>

Your browser is ignoring the <APPLET> tag!

 

</applet>

 

</BODY>

</HTML>

 

Here's my error message when I go to try and run it:

 

 

Don't know what to do, mainly because the error is non-sensical.

Do you still need help with this?

 

I would have to delve into Sun's Oracle's tutorials, but it looks like tutorial code and I can't see anything obviously wrong with it. I'm not quite sure what goes into the archive attribute on the applet tag though, and whether a directory is the right value.

 

How'd you write this code, did you use a reference or a tutorial, or a book? If so, the original link might be helpful as there could be some important context there.
