My Java Applet works perfectly fine when I run from Netbeans and the jar file created works fine too. However, when I embed the applet into the browser, I have this error "RuntimeException java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException" I have surfed through to debug this error but I couldn't seem to find a solution for my codes. Please help. Thank You.
Here are my codes:
SerialTest.java (this is my main class, in the main method, I call the applet so that whatever that should be printed in the Java console will be printed in the applet instead)
