I'm stilltrying to figure this out so be patient......

My applet is going to take the users input from textField2, multiply it by
1500, and display the answer in textField2 but it doesn't seem to work.  I
know it's something simple I am missing.  Any suggestions?  The code is
below:

    String foot = textFieldControl3.getText();
    Integer.valueOf(foot);
    Integer total = (Integer.valueOf(foot))*1500 ;
    textFieldControl2.setText(String.valueOf(total));

without the *1500, the string from textFieldControl3 displays in
textFieldControl2 so I know I am grabbing the users input okay but I get an
error when I try to perform the calculation. What do you think?

Any help is appreciated.
