I don't get it. Every time I try to compile this code, it won't work, as in it won't compile. Here's the code:

Code:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;


public class Scribble extends Applet {
private int last_x = 0;
private int last_y = 0;
private Color current_color = Color.black;
private Button clear_button;
private Choice color_choices;


public void init() {
this.setBackround(Color.white);


clear_button = new Button("Clear");
clear_button.setForeground(Color.black);
clear_button.setBackround(Color.lightGray);
this.add(clear_button);


color_choices = new Choice();
color_choices.addItem("black");
color_choices.addItem("red");
color_choices.addItem("yellow");
color_choices.addItem("green");
color_choices.setBackround(Color.lightGray);
this.add(new Label("Color: "));
this.add(color_choices);
}

public boolean mouseDown(Event e, int x, int y)
{
last_x = x; last_y = y;
return true;
}

public boolean mouseDrag(Event e, int x, int y)
{
Graphics g = this.getGraphics();
g.setColor(current_color);
g.drawLine(last_x, last_y, x, y);
last_x = x;
last_y = y;
return true;
}

public boolean action(Event event, Object arg) {
if (event.target == clear_button) {
Graphics g = this.getGraphics();
Rectangle r = this.bounds();
g.setColor(this.getBackround());
g.fillRect(r.x, r.y, r.width, r.height);
return true;
}
else if (event.target == color_choices) {
if (arg.equals("black")) current_color = Color.black;
else if (arg.equals("red")) current_color = Color.red;
else if (arg.equals("yellow")) current_color = Color.yellow;
else if (arg.equals("green")) current_color = Color.green;
return true;
}
else return super.action(event, arg);
}
}


Is there anything wrong with that? [addsig]

What error message do you get?

compiler errors are the most useful informations you can give to other hackers for debugging
[addsig]

I would like to see the compilers' complaints, too...

jason:
so, what does the compiler say now?
[addsig]

Heh, I guess we will wonder about that for the rest of our lives...

Please, jason, release us! [addsig]

My java wont compile it either, im not to sure whats wrong, mabye if i actually install it it might work, i shall try that.

sacah:
didn't you have a java compiler?
[addsig]

Yes, i have a java compiler, but i dont have the lib files, so the imports dont work, so i just installed it, and tried to compile, its a simple problem, it always failes on the setBackground command, check the spelling, in the code you pasted, its typed 'setBackround' you are missin the 'g' after i added the g to spell it correctly, it worked fine.

hehe, that's probably why he didn't give us the compiler output!

Nice programming problem then. Had several of these in my career [addsig]

oh, not only you!
I just had one of those yesterday... I sat there for about 1 1/2 hours and debugged a PHP script, and the problem was only 1 typo in the end
[addsig]

Seems like sacah is the only one who actually tried to compile the program ...

I am probly the only one who programs in java here, none of the others would have java compiler or know how to use it, but from the errors reported they could have figure this problem out.

I don't even own a java compiler

Hey!!Look!You're 10 years old and I'm 12,but you can desighn sites under JAVA and I can't! Stay cool!
