I am a beginner in Java programming and I am practicing applets for the first time. I'm trying to view my applet in my browser (firefox), but the web page displays a box containing the following message:

This plugin has security vulnerabilities.  
Click here to activate the Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U Plugin.

My question is: What does this mean, why is it happening & how can & get rid of the box? Does it mean that there is something wrong with my code?

It isn't a problem with your code. The Java plugin that runs applets within the browser has had some issues with security recently, and the folks that make Firefox decided to disable the plugin by default. Just click the box and your applet should run.
