I'm trying to set the size of a JComboBox inside a JApplet using the
GridLayout.

The code below shows on the right of the delete word menu item to
be "Ctrl-Delete". How can I set the accelerator to be just DEL?
Thanks

are no errors...the application just doesn't run!

I have a JTable with a custom renderer and a custom cell editor.  The
editor is likely to be the source of my problem, but I thought I'd ask
anyway.
My editor returns a JPanel with a button to the south and a label in the

First, thanks to Christian Kaufhold's site at
http://www.chka.de/swing/table/row-headers/JTable.html, I was able to
get a row header working with my JTable.  I've turned off focus and
selection abilities in it, so it basically works as advertised.

I am currently looking to find a way to draw lines and dots etc. such as the
draw and paint methods of applet.Applet do, but not within an applet, but
