Could you be a little clearer on what you are struggling with? Have you created a user interface already?

To make it very simple, you could just have two JTextFields on your applet, one for the String, one for the Integer as well as a button that would say "Submit" or something similar.

In the code for the Submit button, you would get the text from the JTextField for the String and for the integer, you would get the text from the JTextField and then use Integer.parseInt(integerString) to parse it to an integer. (Once you have done this you can add safety code to prevent people putting silly inputs).

PaulIt would be better to use a NumberFormat to parse the number. Does some of the sanity checks, and will handle necessary cultural variations (1000,000 and 1000.000 aren't the same across the Atlantic...)

JTextField has a getText() method.

Use that combined with Int.parseInt() and you get the result you want.
