Philfrei, that seemed to work, thanks. Does that mean the compiler was using some default run method instead of the one I wrote for it?

Haha wow I can’t believe I didn’t notice that. Yeah you need to give Thread the actual Runnable who’s run() method should be called, else it uses an empty run() method

Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Try this code:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class SampleThread extends Applet implements Runnable
{
	/**
	 * 
	 */
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; //This is a default ID
	Thread th;
	int i;
        //Initialize vars and such...
	public void init()
	{
		th = new Thread();
		i = 0;
	}

       //Start the Thread...
	public void start() {
		th = new Thread(this);
		th.start();
	}

	public void stop() { //Stopping a thread is important, and destroy() is deprecated so we use this instead
		th = null;
	}

	@Override
	public void run() {
		Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();

		while (th == thisThread) {//just makes sense there, if th is null (say, if we wanted it to stop by using stop(), 
                //or if it was null because you closed the application straight up) then it wont equal thisThread 
                 //and it will stop without giving you an error
			i++;
			repaint();

			try{
				Thread.sleep(1000);
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
                             break; //why didn't you have this there in the first place? 
                        }
		}
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		g.drawString("i = "+i, 10, 20);
	}
}

If that doesn’t work it’s gotta be something wrong with the HTML or something else…
