A good answer might be:
A suggested solution is seen below. Notice that it is important to add the components in the correct order.
Raster Order
At right is the display for the program. Observe how the components have been laid out in the frame.
FlowLayout is like a firehose that squirts out the components onto the frame in the same order in which they are added by the program.
It starts in the top left, goes across the frame until it hits the right edge, then starts another left to right sweep far enough down to avoid the first row of components (this is called "raster order".) It also centers components within their row.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TextEg2 extends Frame
{
Label enter = new Label( "Enter Your Name:" );
TextField text = new TextField( 15 );
TextEg2() // constructor
{
// choose the layout manager
setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
add( enter ) ;
add( text ) ;
}
public static void main ( String[] args )
{

It would be a informative to run this program (copy the additional parts from the previous version.)
Type text into the field. You can correct it using the backspace and delete keys.
All of this function comes along for free when you
construct a TextField object.
Click and drag on the left edge of the frame to widen it. Observe what happens to the GUI components.
