Code:

public class Bits extends JFrame

{



    public static void main (String args[])

        throws java.io.IOException

        

    {



        

        new Bits ();

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));



        

        try

        {

          fw = new FileWriter ("C:/textpage.html");

        }

        catch (IOException e)

        {}

    }

    public Bits ()

        throws java.io.IOException

    {

        FileWriter fw //here?

        setSize (500, 400);

        setLocation (350, 250);

        setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        obj ();

        //pack();

        setVisible (true);



    }

    

    FileWriter fw;



    //menu options

    JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar ();

    JMenu menu1 = new JMenu ("Choose A Menu Option");

    JMenuItem menuItem1 = new JMenuItem ("Getting Started");

    JMenuItem menuItem2 = new JMenuItem ("Learn about html");

    JMenuItem menuItem3 = new JMenuItem ("Basic Codes");

    JMenuItem menuItem4 = newJMenuItem ("Tutorials");







    JMenuItem menuItem8 = new JMenuItem ("Create a basic page (header, text, one link) ");





    JMenuItem menuItem10 = new JMenuItem ("Quiz Yourself");

    JMenuItem menuItem9 = new JMenuItem ("Answers to the quiz");

    JMenuItem menuItem11 = new JMenuItem ("Exit");



    JTextField nameTxtFld = new JTextField (10);

    JButton submitBtn = new JButton ("Submit");

okay i am getting another error, "the field name "fw" is not static, and cannot be accessed in this static context"

is the error i'm getting, sorry i must be really annoying but you're a huge help

Oops my bad. Take everything except the line new Bits() out of main and put it into the Bits() constructor

"The method "void write(java.lang.String $1) throws java.io.IOException;" can throw the checked exception "java.io.IOException", so its invocation must be enclosed in a try statement that catches the exception, or else this method must be declared to throw the exception."

i'm still getting an error =[

Post all of your code and i'll take a look at it.
