Problem with Dialog in Applet

[Frank Wood]

Hi,

I am creating an applet that contains a button. When it's clicked, I
simply want to present a message dialog stating "Button clicked".
Something like:

JOptionPane op = new JOptionPane();

op.showMessageDialog(null,"Applet Testing","Button
Clicked",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

Each time this code executes, the browser (in this case, IE 6) freezes
up and I have to shut it down and restart. My guess is this has
something to do with security but I haven't a clue how to solve it if
so. Of course, even if it doesn't, I don't have a clue how to solve
it.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Frank
