Did you try it?

...If not,
what should I use.

If not, why not?

Yes, I tried ,but it didn't worked. I used
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog("madhur");

The program executes, successfully, no error message, but the message doesnt
displays.

I find it hard to believe that the very widely used JOptionPane would simply
do nothing at all. I would think that either Swing is available and it
should work (I just tried it from a 1.1.8 compatible Applet) or you should
get a ClassNotFound exception. Are you sure the dialog was executed? Did
you check the console for messages, as it may have terminated after making
an initial appearance. Are you sure the applet reloaded?

I agree, are you using IE, Madhur?

Swing was not part of the core classes until 1.2,
it should fail on a 1.1.8 JVM..

..or you should
get a ClassNotFound exception.

If using a pre 1.2 JVM such as the MSVM for instance..

..Are you sure the dialog was executed? Did
you check the console for messages, as it may have terminated after making
an initial appearance.

I suspect that is the case..

Madhur, we need more details..
What browser/version are you using on what OS?
What version of Java is running in it?

Do you know how to find the console in your browser?

Also, I think it might help to put an example
on the net, perfect for an applet..

Sorry, It is working.
Actually the problem was the editor JCreator, it was loading the old copy of
the class file rather than newly compiled.

It's a deeper problem than that, try compiling
running without an IDE..

Yeah, yeah, ..blame the IDE. ;-)

Have some thought about..

And please refrain from top-posting Madhur,
I find it most confusing..

I agree. I inserted the call into an Applet that normally runs under 1.1.8
and compiled and ran it with the 1.4.2 plug-in. My point was that either
Swing is available and any use of JOptionPane would work (even from an
Applet--not JApplet), or it's not available and wouldn't work. JOptionPane
has a Component parameter that wasn't shown.
