Thats what I'm trying, but I can compile them
Do you mean "can not"? I'll assume you do.

"just type javac 'file' to compile." Books alittle older so, that doesn't work
The age of the book doesn't matter. It will work. You need to type 'javac file.java' from the command line. Open a command prompt and try it. You'll need to specify the path along with the file name or just cd into the appropriate directory.

If you're using TextPad, you can set it up to compile and run Java programs. I'm at work now, so just google the information.

As for the command line, make sure you but the path to your JDK\bin directory in the PATH variable. This is true for either windows or *nix. As for teaching yourself Java, I've been there. I love the language, so here are some sites to check out. I would also suggest becoming a memeber of the sun developer network. All that can be found @ http://developers.sun.com/

Online tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html

and the one definitive source for everything java, seeing as how they created it....www.sun.com

Check it out, and good luck!!!

Thanks everyone for the help. I liked all the webpages suggested and still, i wonder if i want to learn java just out of the blue. Should i use a language i already know, such as C++, or just start an entirely new laguage. But is C++ able to be put on a webpage?

Ehhh....I've never heard of it without it being a CGI back end and having something up front as a Web template engine. I don't know what you would use as a web template engine with C++. As for the actual deployment of a game on a website...Java is probably your best bet. You can actually deploy full programs via Java Web Start, which allows it to be hosted on a site.
