First, if you are going to do any serious Java development you need to become proficient in using the API JavaDocs. They have all the answers to these type of questions. There's an
online version here, and you can also download it to your local machine.
The answer to your specific question is to use the setIcon() method of JButton, a Swing component (javax.swing.JButton.) This component will let you include a graphic on the button along with the text.
Finally, this is not an
applet question so I am moving this topic to the
Swing/AWT forum if you want to continue this dicussion.
