hey everyone. I can not get my java applet to open with the dimensions i have put on the html code. Also when i open it through firefox the background color does not show up.

heres my html code:

<html>

<body>

<applet code=MotivationalApplet.class width = 250 height = 250 </applet>

</body>

</html>

Heres my program code:

import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;

public class MotivationalApplet extends JApplet
{
public void paint (Graphics page)
{
String motivation1 = new String("Some people not only expect opportunity to knock,");
String motivation2 = new String( "they expect it to beat down the door.");
setBackground(Color.blue);

page.setColor(Color.orange);
page.drawString(motivation1,65,100);
page.drawString(motivation2,65,115);

page.setColor(Color.yellow);
page.fillRect(0,0,500,50);

}
}

Any help would be great
