I think I've got my applet code straightened out, and my JDK is configured properly...but I keep getting this in java console no matter what other classes I try to use:

Opening http://rampa01_nt/test/attachApplet.class no proxy

Opening http://rampa01_nt/test/javax/swing/JApplet.class no proxy

load: class attachApplet.class not found.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: attachApplet

at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadCode(AppletClassLoader.java:385)

at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(AppletPanel.java:462)

at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(AppletPanel.java:395)

at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Compiled Code)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:474)

Can someone please explain to me how the java environment works? An example of environment variable paths and an associated dir structure might help me see what I am doing wrong. Thank you.
