Hi JeanPaul,
It seems to me that you are using version 1.0 of the java language.
The event handling mechanism in version 1.1 of the java language
changed enormously. The two major web browsers -- Netscape
and Micro$oft Internet Explorer -- account for more than 80%
of all web browsers in use today, and they both implement version
1.1 of java language (with a few exceptions in Micro$oft's case).

In fact, the latest version of Netscape supports java 1.3, and
there's always the plug-in option available as well. So I think
you're going to have to "upgrade" to at least version 1.1 of
java. True, there may still be some browsers around that only
support java 1.0, but there's probably so few of them that it's
not really worth the effort (I think).

I suggest you look at the following web page:

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/

It has some tutorials on AWT and Swing that should help
you become acquainted with the new event handling
mechanisms.

Good Luck,
Avi.
