Grabbing Paramaters from a web page. - [SOLVED]

[gjon]

I am trying to grab text from the paramaters values in an html file. Well, before I get to that point, I am getting an error in my applet during compile time. The error message reads:
cannot find symbol - method getParamater(java.lang.String)
at the line:
pString = getParamater("nameofparam");
is highlighted. This is in BlueJ.

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class MessagePanel2 extends JPanel {

    public void paintComponent(Graphics grafObj) {
        super.paintComponent(grafObj);
        grafObj.drawString(Wel3.myText, 50, 50);
    }
}

public class Wel3 extends JApplet
{
    // instance variables - replace the example below with your own
    static String myText;
    
     /**
     * Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this JApplet that it
     * has been loaded into the system. It is always called before the first 
     * time that the start method is called.
     */
    public void init()
    {
        
        // provide any initialisation necessary for your JApplet
        Container messageArea = getContentPane();
        String pString;
        pString = getParamater("nameofparam");
        
        if (pString == null)
            myText = "html page parameter missing";
        else myText = pString;
        
        MessagePanel2 myMessagePanel = new MessagePanel2();
        messageArea.add(myMessagePanel);
    }
    
public void start()
    {
        // provide any code requred to run each time 
        // web page is visited
    }

    /** 
     * Called by the browser or applet viewer to inform this JApplet that
     * it should stop its execution. It is called when the Web page that
     * contains this JApplet has been replaced by another page, and also
     * just before the JApplet is to be destroyed. 
     */
    public void stop()
    {
        // provide any code that needs to be run when page
        // is replaced by another page or before JApplet is destroyed 
    }

    
    public void destroy()
    {
        // provide code to be run when JApplet is about to be destroyed.
    }

} 

[System_Error]

Are you passing the parameter through the html page? Do you have the right name?
