Displaying HTML content in a JTextArea

How to program in Swing to display HTML style content.
I mean will it work ??          
JTextArea area=new JTextArea();
area.setText("<b>Hi hoooo ho hooo</b>");
I have heard that it is possible in Swing but do not know how to do it and the above approach does not work.
So basically I want to display some HTML style content in a JTextarea.
Thanx and Regards

JTextArea does not support HTML.
For HTML support use JEditorPane.

JeditorPane pane = new JEditorPane("http://abc.com/some.html");
pane.setEditable(false);

Or:

pane.setContentType("text/html");
pane.setText("<html><body><b>abc</b></body></html.");

Yep, JLabel also has (limited) html support.

You must use JEditorPane or JTextPane for displaying html content setted with the HTMLEditorKit and HTMLDocument as defaults. after that you have there a method called setPage(URL) and of course setText()

I already did :)

JeditorPane pane = new JEditorPane("http://abc.com/some.html");
pane.setEditable(false);

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

public class TestHTML {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    JEditorPane pane = null;
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.setSize(400, 400);
    f.setLocation(150, 100);
    f.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    try {
      pane = new JEditorPane("https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?ta=java&qid=20152577");
    } catch(Exception e) {}
    f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(pane), BorderLayout.CENTER);
    f.setVisible(true);
  }
}

You must wait a little until the page is loaded.

To Ovi :
Did you succeed to show the page in this way ?
Some security exceptions are shown at console...

catch(Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
}

JEditorPane supports HTML3.2 and and lower.
I think something else should be added...

Best Regards

Hopefully you've already been helped with this question, but thought you'd appreciate knowing this.

WindowsUpdate has new updates for .NET users; Details follow - Microsoft .NET Framework
The .NET Framework is a new feature of Windows. Applications built using the .NET Framework are more reliable and secure. You need to install the .NET Framework only if you have software that requires it.

For more information about the .NET Framework, see http://www.microsoft.com/net. (This site is in English.)

System Requirements
The .NET Framework can be installed on the following operating systems:
Windows 98
Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)
Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me)
Windows NT 4.0® (Workstation or Server) with Service Pack 6.0a
Windows 2000 with the latest service pack installed (Professional, Server, Datacenter Server, or Advanced Server)
Windows XP (Home Edition and Professional)
You must be running Internet Explorer version 5.01 or later for all installations of the .NET Framework.

To install the .NET Framework, your computer must meet or exceed the following software and hardware requirements:

Software requirements for server operating systems:
MDAC 2.6
Hardware requirements:
For computers running only a .NET Framework application, Pentium 90 mHz CPU with 32 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
For server operating systems, Pentium 133 mHz CPU with 128 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
Recomended software:
MDAC 2.7 is recommended.
Recommended hardware: For computers running only a .NET Framework application, Pentium 90 MHz CPU with 96 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
For server operating systems, Pentium 133 MHz CPU with 256 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.

How to use -> Restart your computer to complete the installation. No other action is required to run .NET Framework applications. If you are developing applications using the .NET Framework, you can use the command-line compilers or you can use a development environment, such as Visual Studio .NET, that supports using the .NET Framework.

How to uninstall
To uninstall the .NET Framework: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel (In Windows XP, click Start and then click Control Panel.).
Click Add/Remove Programs.

Moderators cannot be expected to be knowledgeable in every area, it would be most helpful if you would provide an expert name for whom to assign the 100 points in your comments.  I have removed the points from this question but can issue a points for expertname question if if you post whom you think should get the points.  Thanks.
