How can I show common GUI elements such as :
Textbox
Button
Radios/Dropdowns
Labels
etc in a java applet which would be run from a web browser?
This applet tutorial starts from the beginning, and covers GUI components.
There are plenty of other applet tutorials around of course, almost all of which will cover GUI work.
JApplet and JFrame both extend Container, so you just set the layout and add the components like you would in any other Swing GUI.

I'm learning about making GUI using swing at the moment, and am getting frustrated trying to make a GUI for my application and making my own custom Look and Feel, using images. I have a Jframe which has a JPanel inside it(which is my application) I know how to add JmenuBar however i'm having trouble loading images to change the look and feel.
I'm trying to change the exit button, window button, and fullscreenbutton to image files and change the window bar of the application also.
Here is an example of what i'd like it to look like:
Any help on the subject would be most appreciated.
In my program, I have all the different " screens" that I want. They are all under the same project and each has a button or two that directs the user to another page. How can I get it so clicking the "Coaches Corner" button will have the Coaches corner file pop up?
Thanks
Sounds like you should be using a CardLayout. A CardLayout allows you to swap panels.
Check out the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use CardLayout for more information and working examples to get you started.
I'm writing a program that currently switches back and forth between different JPanels placed on a JFrame that also has a JMenuBar. (We're required to use Swing.)
I need to write a tutorial and right now I have it giving step-by-step instructions from a popup window. However, it doesn't seem to resonate well with test users and quite frankly it's annoying to switch back and forth between screens.
After checking out JDesktopPane and JInternalFrame it seems to make sense to place my entire program in a desktop pane and then create the tutorial using an internal frame. I'm worried that this will force me to place my different screens each in an internal frame which is NOT what I want to do. I just want the tutorial to be an internal popup(?) that can be minimized and moved around if necessary.
Am I going about this the correct way or is there a more efficient/practical way to implement the same tutorial popup feature?
I'm not 100% clear on your problem -- is it that your tutorial keeps popping up new windows for each step? I would assume that you wish both the main program and the tutorial to both be in view while the tutorial is running, and if this is so, perhaps the tutorial should reside in a non-modal JDialog, and then you swap tutorial screens via a CardLayout. ... unless I'm mis-reading your requirements and problem.
I'm creating an application to test my Java skills, and I am using NetBeans because of the GUI builder because I'm not quite used to laying GUI's out by hand yet (the GUI is in Swing). I have a simple login form, that if the login information is correct, disappears and is replaced with different GUI elements. How could I make the second page that replaces the login page with the GUI builder?
You probably want a CardLayout. However, this might be a dup of Java Swing: How can I implement a login screen before showing a JFrame?
I Have Create a One Swing Application and I Want To Run My Swing Application In To My Local Web Browser So Plz Tell Me How Can I Do This Because For Applet Program There Is No Any Longer Process For This.
Browsers do not know to run applications. They run applets.
There are 2 ways to refactor you application.
if you wish the application to run in its own window, just write applet that calls YourApplication.main() from its method start()
If you wish to see your application into the browser's window (as a part of your web page) you have to create applet (that extends Pannel), set its layout to BorderLayout and then put the main panel of your application into center of applet. That's it.
If you do not have one panel that contains all elements, e.g. you are adding all elements directly to JFrame you have to fix your application. Create one main panel, add all elements there and put this panel to the center of your JFrame.
