Applet won't work in browser

Question

Okay I know there are a lot of questions about this and a lot of answers but I really haven't had any luck with any of them. I have a multi-class, multi-package program that also uses some external libraries (as jar files). I exported my project as a jar file as well and below is my "index.html" that references the necessary libraries and my jar file. All those files have been put in the same directory and I can see the applet on my webpage: http://easlnx01.eas.muohio.edu/~whitetc2/Twitter%20Mining%202/



Java Example




This is my page

Below you see an applet

My main class (BasicGUI.java) extends JApplet and calls a variety of other classes based on input. It has the public void init() as well. Can anyone please tell me why this isn't totally working? Here is a link to my site where it is uploaded: http://easlnx01.eas.muohio.edu/~whitetc2/Twitter%20Mining%202/

As you can see the applet comes up but now the options panel in the file tab won't work and the program itself doesn't actually function.

Here is my main BasicGUI.java class:

package main;

import javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListener;

Typically an applet operates in a restrictive security sand-box. To get all properties or reach across sites, the applet needs to be digitally signed by you, and trusted by the end-user (they 'Click OK when prompted').

General tips:

Configure the Java Console to pop up when an applet loads. You are 'flying blind' at the moment.
For broken code, ensure that every catch calls Throwable.printStackTrace();
