Help on JButton

[youdaman]

I would like to capture the input after the <enter> key is hit rather than using a JButton. Anyone have ideas on how I could do this? Thanks for your help!

Below is the code I am using. I have a local web site setup and and trying to password protect it. This brings up the applet but even if I write in the correct value(Test) for field myTextField, I always get dropped to the else statement. Thanks.....

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class JPasswordA extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{//1
JLabel myPassword = new JLabel(&quot;Enter A Password&quot;
JTextField myTextField = new JTextField(&quot;&quot;, 15);
Font myFont = new Font(&quot;Arial&quot;, Font.BOLD + Font.ITALIC, 18);
Container con = getContentPane();
FlowLayout flow = new FlowLayout();
JLabel status = new JLabel(&quot;&quot;

public void init()
{
con.setLayout(flow);
con.add(myPassword);
con.add(myTextField);
con.add(status);
myTextField.addActionListener(this);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{

Object source = e.getSource();
String newText;
newText= myTextField.getText();

if (newText.equals(&quot;Test&quot)
{

// you have an error
status.setText(&quot;OK&quot;
}
else
{
// get the data
status.setText(&quot;Password is incorrect&quot;
}
}

}//1

Weird. I don't! it outputs &quot;OK&quot; next to the password TextField.

I got the same results as thekobbler. Maybe try equalsIgnoreCase?

Just a thought.
