Question

15-10. Using your own layouts with setBounds(), etc., design the attached lycos search page applet. Plan out the coordinates for the placement and sizes of the two checkboxes, textfield, button, and image. It should look very close to the attached image showing the lycos search page. You do not have to supply the event handlers for clicking or typing. The lycos image is also attached.  Lycos (with their image and background periodically changing) can be found at http://www.lycos.com/ . Submit your code.

Hint: It works best when you draw the image in a regular paint() method (after running the super JApplet paint() method). Also, checkboxes have a background around them so you may need to set the checkboxes background to the container's background.
