the applet is a ball that is bouncing and we can choose if we want to see it with its trails or with fading trail

thank you very much

Remove the codebase attribute and make sure that the class file is in the same directory as the HTML file. I would start off by placing both files on the desktop. I just ran your code and it worked in mozilla.
