JEditPane

i want to show text by jEditPane.
as i have understood, i can give the constructor an url or string represents it.
is there a way to give it a string that contains exactly the same text as in the source file of the url?

well i did:

jEditorPane1 = new com.sun.java.swing.JEditorPane();
jEditorPane1.setBounds(0,0,324,444);
jEditorPane1.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 12));
jEditorPane1.setForeground(new Color(0));
jEditorPane1.setBackground(new Color(16777215));
jEditorPane1.setEditorKit(jEditorPane1.getEditorKitForContentType("text/html"));
jEditorPane1.setText(getTextPane());

(getTextPane() returns a string).
i created a page of an html and saw what was the code and i told getTextPane() to return this code by string.
in the program, the editor show it as a regular text.
please tell me what's wrong.
thank you!

I have had the same problem that you, run into. I thought that this would work. I will take another look at it. And tell you if I figue it out. For now you can try useing the JEditorPane(String type, String text) ; constractor. see if that works better for you. And just put new panel each time you update the Html

I have done this with 1.2 and it seem to work give it a shoot.
//------------
//import com.sun.java.swing.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class MainWindow extends JWindow
{
MainWindow()
{
super();

addWindowListener(new StdWindowAdapter());

m_pnlHtmlBrowser.setVisible(true);
m_pnlHtmlBrowser.setBackground(Color.red);

getContentPane().add(m_pnlHtmlBrowser);

Toolkit oToolKit = getToolkit();
Dimension oDimenation = oToolKit.getScreenSize();

//make the screen half size of the display and show in the middle
int x = oDimenation.width/4;
int y = oDimenation.height/4;
setBounds(x, y, x* 2, y*2);
m_pnlHtmlBrowser.setBounds(x, y, x* 2, y*2);

m_pnlHtmlBrowser.setEditorKit(new javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit());
System.out.println(m_pnlHtmlBrowser.getContentType());
m_pnlHtmlBrowser.setText(m_strHtmlContent);

repaint();
validate();

}

//member declaration
JEditorPane m_pnlHtmlBrowser = new JEditorPane();

String m_strHtmlContent = "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Critical Analysis</TITLE></HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR=\"#00ff40\" TEXT=\"#804000\"><B>BOLD</B> Normal <I>Italic</I></BODY></HTML>";

}

heyhey_

it seems that setText does not work with older versions of Swnig (tested with 1.0.2)
you can check this URL for a workaround ...

(note:
setEditorKit(new com.sun.java.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit());
works exactly like
setEditorKit(jEditorPane1.getEditorKitForContentType("text/html"));
at least in Swing 1.0.2
)

hope this helps
heyhey

Hans_Klose, your code doesn't work on jdk 1.1.6 (i know you didn't say so), it does the same.
isn't there a way to do it with this version?
(and what is javax? (is it only in jdk 1.2?))
thank you

heyhey_

javax.swing is the new name of the Swing package (com.sun.java.swing)

Hans_Klose

If you want to make it work with 1.1.6 take heyhey_ s work around it seems to be the only way I have seen so far............
