I am new to Java programming and still learning it. i downloaded some
applets(source code) from the internet and compiled them. to see what
they looked like i put them in a webpage but it said class: Greeting
not found. I then tried appletviewer which worked. I want to be able to
view them in a webpage. I installed the latest jre but still no luck.
Any ideas?

If you are new to Java I would not start with Applets. The better path
would be to learn how to program an app and not an Applet. That said,
you can use 'AppletViewer' to view your applets. You can find it here:

'JAVA_HOME\bin\appletviewer.exe'

You can Google for more info...

Something a little more specific would help to get
people's attention. Note that there are a lot of
people that 'need help'
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/search?group=comp.lang.
java.programmer&q=Need+help&qt_g=1>

I might suggest 'Applet - class not found' might have
been a better title - the word 'help' is almost presumed.

There is a good group for those people learning Java over at..
comp.lang.java.help

>...i downloaded some applets...

Applets? NooooOOOOOOooooo!!

What is your particular interest in applets?
If you are interested in learning Java, applets
are a very *bad* place to start.

Fisrt it is best to get used to the basic Java
concepts such as loops and conditional statements,
a bit of I/O and maybe packages - all from the
command line.

Then, once you are confident with compiling and
running simple Java command line programs, progress
to basic GUI's, but as *applications* rather than applets.

Applets are both harder to debug, and harder to deploy,
than applications.

Note that 'web pages' don't say things, so I guess you
mean this is a message from your browser, which
would obviously bring us to which browser, running which VM?

>....class: Greeting not found.

(and my initial guess is IE running the MSVM)
