I am developing for the web and therefore do not have the option of using
the newer JDK stuff.  I am trying to use JBuilder instead of VJ++ because I
like the IDE a lot better.  A couple of problems...

The JBuilder Design view does not seem to recognize older stuff like the
GridBagLayout and setting a TextField's size during creation of it (ie
text1 = new TextField(20) the field does NOT end up being 20 characters in
size in the Design view, though it does work when I run it.)

Since I cannot use the addActionListener (too new for the older JVM and
JDK) I am using handleEvents in my main applet.  Everything works on my
development machine using Shift-F9.  I do get several exceptions in the DOS
box that runs the HotJava applet runner, though.  When I go to run this on
my test machine that has the older JVM and JDK (IE3.02 on NT 4.0), the
events for the buttons I have work, but the TextFields that allow editing
to not allow you to edit them.  I type and nothing shows up in the
TextField.  On my development machine stuff shows up when I type.

Please Help,

Thanks, Tony
