how to test your applet.

1. Create your applet and your html file in your cs1007/hw5 directory. Mine are hw5eis2003.java and hw5eis2003.html.

2. Compile the java file:
     unix$ javac hw5eis2003.java
   

3. Copy the class file (not the java file!) and the html files to your public_html directory (which is created automatically when AcIS creates your CUNIX account):
     unix$ cp hw5eis2003.class ~/public_html
     unix$ cp hw5eis2003.html ~/public_html
   

   (Note that ~ is a shortcut for your toplevel home directory.)

4. Go to your public_html directory and set the file protections so that the class and html files are readable by all:
     unix$ cd ~/public_html
     unix$ chmod a+r hw5eis2003.class
     unix$ chmod a+r hw5eis2003.html
   

5. Now you can see your applet with your browser, by typing the following into the Location: field in your browser window:
     http://www.columbia.edu/~eis2003/hw5eis3002.html

(For all of the above, substitute your CUNIX username in place of mine -- eis2003.)
