This simple java applet converts between fahrenheit and celsius temperature values. The reset button clears all the fields. If an invalid value is entered in the input field an error message is displayed on the browser status bar.

NOTE: I updated this applet on 12 Feb. Now when the reset button is pressed, both radio buttons are reset to false. This was accomplished by creating a third radio button called "clear". When the reset button is pressed clear is set to true, automatically turning off the two other buttons in the checkbox group. Since I didn't want a clear radio button displayed I simply didn't add it to the applet. It acts as a hidden component that controls the behavior of the other two buttons.

Feb 14 - Added a beveled border to applet for a more professional look.
