Hi, I need an applet which contains one panel. The panel needs to be 550x400 pixels, the JTextField needs to be under the panel dynamic size. I want it to be like this: [topPanel] [textPanel]

However I am trying this, and it seems like the panel is filling all the space. The code:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class Client extends JApplet
{

@Override
public void init()
{
    try {
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
            {

            public void run()
            {
                initComponents();
            }
            });
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private void initComponents()
{
    JPanel topPanel = new javax.swing.JPanel();

    topPanel.setBackground(Color.red);

    topPanel.setSize(550, 400);
    topPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(550, 400));
    topPanel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(550, 400));
    topPanel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(550, 400));

    JTextField myTextBox = new JTextField(255);

    getContentPane().add(topPanel, java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);
    getContentPane().add(myTextBox, java.awt.BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}
// TODO overwrite start(), stop() and destroy() methods
}

Thanks!
