Requesting Help: JTextField Problem

Hello, trying this again as my last post did not result in a soluion to my issue.

I have a JApplet I am working on, building it in Netbeans 5.5.1. I am using the following Swing components for part of the applet:

JTextField jUsernameTextField

JTextField jPasswordTextField

JButton jLoginButton

I originally was using a mousebutton release event handler on the jLoginButton but one of the forum members suggested I switch to an ActionEvent, which I did.

The button's action event fires as expected but the two textfields' getText() method return an empty String whether they have text defined in the component or not. I have been unable to figure out why and am hoping for someone's assistance.

Thank you!

-Andy
