I am looking for someone that might help me.
I am writing a java applet as aprt of my dissertation and have recently made
some changed to my code which has meant that the applet keeps on crashing
and cant find the source of the problem.
It is driving me ound the bend and althouhg it is, i am sure a simple problem
i cant find it. Can anyone with a little more experience of java applet find
the problem. I am willing to e-mail the code to anyone who thinks they can
help. The code itself is simple but i hvae made a mistake somewhere. It is
for my dissertation and i need to fix it soon. Please i am desparate, if
anyone enjoys programming in java and has a spare 5 mins to look at my code
and see where i am going wrong i would be forever in there debt.
Thank you Paul McCaffery

You should just post the code here, and anyone can look at it. Just use the UBB CODE tag to so that it formats better.
We will be happy to help you out.
That will keep you from E-mailing it to different people.

Here is the code it i long but i think the problem is somewhere in the RectangleDemo class in the buildUI() but cant figure it out? It will start up if i run it through linux and work properly but wont work through a windows machine on blueJ. Dont know why. But after refreching it three or four time times or after three or four operations is crashes quite unusual behavior
