Applet problem: Empty Combo Box, Drop Down is offset

Hello,

I am new to applets and am having a bit of a problem.

(This is my second post on this topic..  I didn't think something this 
simple would go unanswered)

I have the following code to populate a combo box box with strings..

String [] appnames = { "Corel Clipart Locator", "Data Doctor", "Event 
Organizer", "HTML Developer Database",  "Image Thumbnail Viewer", 
"iTaxSystem", "Odyssey Warranty Tracker", "SFS Database" };

 private void jbInit() throws Exception {
 ...
  fillAppNames();
 }


public void fillAppNames() {
 int index;
 for (index = 0; index<appnames.length; index++);
  {
   cbAppNames.addItem(appnames[index]);

  }

 }

The code above compiles but when run it appears to fill the combo box 
with empty strings.

When the box drops down it appears to have some volume but not the array 
contents.  It also shows the drop down an inch or two down and to the 
right of the actual combo box control?

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
