Weird infinite loop in the console but not in the Applet - Java

I'm a complete novice in Java. I'm writing a program which got stuck in an infinite loop which is displayed in the console but not in the Applet. It's a calendar which needs to change the month and date form October 31st to November 1st and display this in a location. I'm pretty sure the if statement is wrong but I can't find anything in my books to help :( here is the code: 

            int date = 28;
            String currentMonth = "October";
            String nextMonth = "November";
            String dateNumber = "28th October";

            for (date = 28; date <= 32; date++)
            {
                if (date == 32);
                {
                    currentMonth = nextMonth;
                    date = 1; 
                }


                switch (date)
                {
                case 28: dateNumber = "28th October"; break;
                case 29: dateNumber = "29th October"; break;
                case 30: dateNumber = "30th October"; break;
                case 31: dateNumber = "31st October"; break;
                case 32: dateNumber = "1st November"; break;
                default: println (dateNumber); break;
                }

                GLabel label = new GLabel(dateNumber);
                label.setFont ("Ariel-13");
                label.setColor(Color.BLUE);
                add (label, 50, 001 + (100*date));
            }

In the console it repeats 28th October infinitely. In the Applet it shows "28th October" in the first position of the GLabel only (it does not execute the + (100*date)). I would be very grateful if somebody can explain what's happening and suggest a way to fix it!

You put semicolon ; at the end of if statement.

if (date == 32)  // Remove ;
{

Due to semicolon at the end of if, won't enter on if block, So your date is not re-initiate to 1.
