Java beginner cannot find embeded applet

[Neilos]

Hello,

I have been learning Java and I have a working Hello World app that I can make work from the command prompt. I see

Hello World!

My problem comes to when I embed the program into a webpage. My HTML is all sound...

<applet code="helloworld.class" width=300 height=300>
<param name="bgcolor" value="ffffff">
<param name="fontcolor" value="000000">
Your browser is not Java enabled.
</applet>

My .html and .class files are both in the same directory on the website.

But my applet produces the following error...

load: class helloworld.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: helloworld.class
at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2ClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)

Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: helloworld.class

Does anyone know what the problem might be? I have trawled the net for answers and not fornd an answer as of yet

Do you think the 'caused by' message in the stack trace might contain a clue?

Yes, I had notices this but couldn't understand why the JRE would want to open a file called class.class in the subdirectory helloworld/... when I don't put that in the applet 'code' element...

code="helloworld.class"

Can anyone see why it is looking there for the file? I cannot see why it would or how to point it at the right place (as far as I'm aware it should be pointed at the correct file).

Thanks
