swing
I'm trying to create an applet using Swing. My problem is when you use a layout manager it places components in a certain place. I have always been able to use setLocation in paint using AWT to achieve the exact position that I need. This does not seem to work using Swing, is there another way?

You don't need to use a layout manager, itcan be null. The drawback is that your componentswill not resize as desired, but we all know howresizings (don't) work in various browsers...
What you want is Absolute Positioning. See the Swing tutorial on "Using Layout Managers" for information on this and other Layout Managers:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html
By the way, using Layout Managers is much easier to use then using Absolute Position, but you do have to spend a little time understanding how Layout Managers work.
