Simple Card Layout Problem

[_Dan_]

I'm just starting to learn about layouts and I can't understand why the following code doesn't execute correctly. It's supposed to display Page 2 but instead it Displays Page 0 (the first page that was added to the applet), can anyone tell me what's wrong :S? Also, how do I implement a key listener that will detect when I press a key down in the active JPanel. Help is much appreciated!

code:

public class LayoutTest extends java.applet.Applet {     //Sets up the blank pages     final int noOfPages = 3;     JPanel[] pages = new JPanel [noOfPages];     public void init ()     {         JLabel[] text = {new JLabel ("One"), new JLabel ("Two"), new JLabel ("Three") };         for (int i = 0 ; i < noOfPages ; i++)         {             //Creates a page             pages [i] = new JPanel ();             //Adds text to the created page             pages [i].add (text [i]);             //Adds the created page to the applet             add ("Page " + i, pages [i]);         }         //Sets the layout to the card layout         CardLayout card = new CardLayout ();         setLayout (card);         //Shows the first page         card.show (this, "Page 2");         requestFocus ();     } }

EDIT: {Prolly best to learn these things yourself as I did, anyways, resolved}

Still doesn't work, now it displays none of the labels :<.

code:

public class LayoutTest extends java.applet.Applet {     //Sets up the blank pages     final int noOfPages = 3;     JPanel[] pages = new JPanel [noOfPages];     public void init ()     {         //Creates the main page and sets it layout to the card layout         JPanel mainPage = new JPanel (new CardLayout ());         //Creates the text to go onto each page         JLabel[] text = {new JLabel ("One"), new JLabel ("Two"), new JLabel ("Three") };         for (int i = 0 ; i < noOfPages ; i++)         {             //Creates a page             pages [i] = new JPanel ();             //Adds text to the created page             pages [i].add (text [i]);             //Adds the created page to the main page             mainPage.add (pages [i], "Page " + i);         }         CardLayout cl = (CardLayout) (mainPage.getLayout ());         cl.show (mainPage, "Page 0");     } }
