[java] Java JApplet + multiple JPanels question

heey all,

I'm trying to create a Java+php program that allows users to login, go to different pages and do some stuff. I chose java instead of html for this since I wanted to do more then just create static webpages, if I want, I can add more graphical stuff and since I wanted to try a php/java project.

My idea was, for the java side, to create a JApplet and let this be loaded by the only html page. For the different (java-)pages I created multiple JPannels with some UI on it. If a user succesfully logs in, the loginpanel will be destroyed and the Overview page(another (java-)page) will be shown.

I can get a connection to the server fine, let php log the user in and get the login info(login succes, wrong password, no user and errors) back. But the problem lies in destroying the loginpanel and showing the next page. I have no idea how to do this.

Can somebody help me with this. I am fairly new to java but not to php and programming in general. Below is some of the code I use.

thanks in advance,

my code

main.java

import javax.swing.*;public class Main extends JApplet{    //data    LoginPanel lp;    //Called when this applet is loaded into the browser.    @Override    public void init()    {        //Execute a job on the event-dispatching thread; creating this applet's GUI.        try        {            SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()            {                public void run()                {                    //create a LoginPanel class                    lp = new LoginPanel();                    add(lp);                }            });        }        catch (Exception e)        {            System.err.println("Couldn't initialize GUI");        }    }}
