Parmeters from applet read into text area

[cathiec]

i have parameters in a html page and i read them into my java file using

for(i=1;i<=iMaxQuest;i++)
{
gQuestionsAcross = getParameter(&quot;A&quot; + i);
if(gQuestionsAcross == null) gQuestionsAcross = &quot;&quot;;

gQuestionsDown = getParameter(&quot;D&quot; + i);
if(gQuestionsDown == null)
gQuestionsDown = &quot;&quot;;

}

imaxQuest is a variable
gQuestionsAcross and gQuestionsDown are arrays of the parameters with the name A or D followed by a letter respectively.

when i try to access the array elements in order to print them into a text area the applet loads but instead of just printing the parameter values it keeps running and repeatly prints the values all the time, below is the code that i am using at the moment that does this. it seems as if the loop keeps running even after the max value of the counter has been reached. i have this loop in paint and the above code is in init.

for(int i=1;i<=gQuestionsAcross[].length-1;i++){
taQuestionArea.append(gQuestionsAcross);
}

method paint may run more than once, so put the code

for(int i=1;i<=gQuestionsAcross[].length-1;i++){
    taQuestionArea.append(gQuestionsAcross);
}

in the init
