Applet won't run in browser

I created an applet that writes and reads from a text file. It works when I run it in eclipse but not in a browser.Noob

By default applets can't read the local filesystem.Presumably Eclipse lets you do it to make development easier. If you want your applet to read the local filesystem, you apparently have to sign it.

How would I go about doing that?

Dunno, I've always avoided that, as it kind of misses the point of applets IMHO.There are tutorials on this site about it, though. Google.
