908: Mainline

The key elements in a form are instances of the JLabel class, the JTextField class, and the JButton class. All are components, so you can connect instances of each to an applet's content pane.

In practice, however, you are unlikely to connect labels, text fields, or buttons directly to an applet. Instead, you connect them to an instance of a subclass of the JPanel class, which you connect to an applet's content pane. Thus, you implement a form by creating a subclass of the JPanel class.
