hi

i like to create a jbutton with an imageicon on it. so i write JButton
button = new JButton(new ImageIcon("icon.gif"). well, the icon is
never been displayed. so i guess, the applet 'looks' in the wrong
directory for the icon. because using an absolute path works fine.
the icon is located in the same directory as the applet itself. so i'm
not supposed to specify any path at all, or am i?

what is the default location for the applet to look for icons?

regards

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/image.html

Look at getResource and how it composes an URL to find the image in
the jar.
