actually i dont have a compiler to compile but i think this is what you are looking for.

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

import javax.swing.event.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

public class chat extends JFrame {

public JTextField field;

public JTextArea area;

public JList list;

public JButton button;

public JPanel p1,p2;

public chat()

{

super("my chat");

Container cont = getContentPane();

cont.setLayout(new BorderLayout(5,5));

area = new JTextArea(50,50);

list = new JList(50,false);

field = new JTextField(50);

button = new JButton("SEND");

p1 = new JPanel();

p1.setLayout(new BorderLayout(2,2));

p1.add(button,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

cont.add(area,BorderLayout.WEST);

cont.add(list,BorderLayout.EAST);

cont.add(field,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

cont.add(p1,BorderLayout.EAST);

cont.setBounds(200,200,400,490);

cont.setVisible(true);

}

public static void main (String args[])

{

chat ch = new chat();

}

Sorry,JFrame has function for resize a frame.Then I resize a frame, the location of component in the frame should be move automatically.I would like to ask that BorderLayout can do this....

hi,to resize the textarea of the frame when the frame is resized. you should use JTextpane insted of JTextarea. this is what i used in my chat program. its not as easy as JTextArea but it will help a lot as it is a full fledged text editor.
