Smile How can I modify a java applet?

I recently downloaded a free java applet of fading text from www.captainjava.com and was ready to install it when i realised i needed to modify it to display what i wanted it to say. I don't have any software to edit it so can i modify the script using MS FrontPage, online or using FreeWare?
Please give a URL if poss.
Thankyou,
Jason
PS It is saved as .class.
PPS Thankyou!

If you had the .java file.

You could open this up in Notepad and modify the text. Then use the java compiler to create the class file. If you don't have JAVA installed on your computer you can use the online java compiler here.

http://javaboutique.internet.com/compiler.html

Because you only have the class file.

You can't. Because this is a compiled file. Just like trying to modify an EXE file. You may want to check the documentation that came with the applet to see if you can send a parameter to customize the text. Eg, <PARAM name="text" value="...">.

nextGoal100kVisitors is liked by many
Applet provides mechanism to pass parameters from html to the applet. If this message text is hard coded, there is nothing we can do about it, but applets like this one are generally written to read parameters and display messages. I'd first check if you can do that.

I could only find 1 fading text applet on the site. Use this code.

Code:
<applet code="FadeText.class" codebase="java/" width="500" height="100"> <param name="desc0"value="Insert First Text"> <param name="desc1"value="Insert Second Text"> <param name="desc2"value="Insert Third Text"> </applet>
