Creating a small HTML-Editor using JEditorPane

Hello! I'm trying to create a small HTML-Editor. Via this editor users shall be capable to create formatted text (bold, italic, underlined, different sizes, different fonts, different colors). Furthermore, if the user pushes the enter-button a new line-break ( ) shall be inserted. Basically my editor is working but with some big problems:
1. When I create an instance of my editor, I initialize it with some html-code.
this.m_EditorPane.setText("<html><head></head><body></body></html>"); Without this initialization between the <body> and </body> and will be inserted, what I don't want. But if I push now the enter-button at the beginning, -tag will not be inserted in the <body>-area but in the <head>-area.
2. Styling text is working really good, but when I insert a line-break (via enter-button), the -tag is inserted after the (e.g.) closing bold-tag (). So, in the next line, this style-property must be reselected.
Can anybody help me to change this behavior?
Kind regards, Stefan
P.S. The way I insert the -tag:
JEditorPane editor = getEditor(ae);
HTMLDocument doc = getHTMLDocument(editor);
HTMLEditorKit kit = getHTMLEditorKit(editor);
editor.replaceSelection("");
int offset = editor.getCaretPosition();
kit.insertHTML(doc, offset, " ", 0, 0, HTML.Tag.BR);
editor.getCaret().setDot(editor.getCaretPosition());P.P.S. Sorry for my bad english :-/

How to create a WYSIWIG HTML editor

I need to create a WYSIWIG HTML editor and I'm thinking of using Swing.
I realise many have done this before and that there are products already on the market ranging from Coffee Cup to Dreamweaver.
However, this will be for a specific application where my users will need to drop some composite objects on to the web page -- these objects will generate chunks of HTML containing some of my own attributes with a special syntax. These objects might be as simple as a textbox with a label, or something more complex.
So the idea is that the user selects the object they wish to create by clicking a particular icon in a palette. The cursor changes to a cross-hair as the mouse is moved across some sort of canvas pane. The user clicks where they want the top left-hand corner of the object to be (rubber banding not necessary). A dialogue pops up asking for some context-sensitive properties for the object. At this point, the system can work out the HTML object it needs to create, i.e. tags, attributes, etc.
So far the canvas pane has acted as a simple drawing surface, perhaps with a set of grid lines to aid the user in positioning. But at this point, know that we know the HTML object required, I want it to be rendered on the pane as HTML.
Is it possible for a pane to be both a canvas an an HTML renderer like this, so that I can achieve a true WYSIWYG effect ? Does anyone understand what I'm talking about ?! Are there any examples of how I would go about this ?
Thanks

Is it possible for a pane to be both a canvas an an HTML renderer like this, so that I can achieve a true WYSIWYG effect ? Does anyone understand what I'm Check out JEditorPane and JTextPane for HTML support. You have to do JEditorPane.setEditable(false) to make it render html. It also SUCKS as a web container - no support for style sheets, forms, javascript, etc.
It is definitely possible to add components into or over the JEditorPane to show lines and other things. I'm just not sure what the point of this is.

Creating a WYSIWYG HTML editor

quick question:
I'm creating an HTML editor using JTextPane for my GUI and an HTMLEditorKit in the back. I'm just running a simple test with the following html file:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
 
 let's make a web page
 
 
 
 
 just to see if this works
 
</body>
</html>I'm calling
HTMLEditorKit editorKit = new HTMLEditorKit();
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) editorKit.createDefaultDocument();
editorKit.read(m_reader, this.getDoc(), 0);where m_reader is a FileReader linked to the above file.
Then I'm using that as the content for my JTextPane by saying
textPane = new JTextPane(doc);Then when I do a System.out.print(textPane.getText()), I get:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
 
 
</body>
</html>any ideas?

I'd create my own Draw2D figure to render text boxes and other html
elements. SWT widgets can't (as far as I know) be embedded in the GEF
GrapicalViewer's main (SWT) control. You're building blocks are Draw2D
figures. A nice emulated lightweight solution (c.f swing).
The other great advantage, is that a figure based TextField gives you the
the ability to style the appearance of the textbox, ie border, colour, etc.
You could create a base figure styling interface.
The TextField or TextBox, could be based on a draw2d.text FlowFigure.
You're also going to need to have some form of FlowLayout for the page,
to emulate how elements flow on a HTML page in a browser.
I guess the Logic Diagram labels are a good place to start looking.

How to create a small HTML-file in Applet

What i wan't to do is as follows:
1. In an applet i create a string containing a small HTML-file. Its contents depends on what the user chose in the applet.
2. then i wan't to redirect the browser to that HTML-file. appletcontext.showDocument(URL) could be used.
The problem is how can i create an URL to a string which is only in memory.
Writing the string to a file and then creating URL to it poses problems, as we all know, writing files from applets is difficult.
Any help would be appreciated.

Here is how you do it:
1) use the JSObject (you may have to import
netscape.javascript.JSObject depending on the
version of your SDK) to open a window with an empty
URL, a title , and a _blank or _self
target.
2) use the JSObject document.write to write the HTML
string to the window that you opened in #1 above
3) close the document.
If you need further assistance, post your code and I
can modify it for you or if you want, I can whip up a
small demo applet for you to try.
;o)
V.V.Thanks!! Your post has been very helpful. One question though, I suppose the client has to have a java-plug-in installed in his/her web-browser, is that right?

Is it possible to write an HTML editor using Java?

I have this final year project (for my degree), where I need to use Java to write an HTML editor.
It doesn't have to be fancy or anything, just need to be able to generate HTML files from the GUI frontend where text, images and tables will be created.
I'm new to Java, and I'm having problem with it.
Please help, I only need to know whether it's possible, and possible a little guideline on how to go about it, please?

Creating a PHP/HTML Editor

I'm doing a school project on a PHP/HTML Editor.
I'm looking for some help on finding a good tutorial on changing properties to a JEditorPane. I want to set up the indent size, colors for tags, comments, statements, etc...
anyone help??

Here, I stole this code from the advanced forum on Saturday and tried to develop it, though gave up when I couldn't get setTabs or load file to work and tooltips was too damn slow.
I had an idea that I could use it to run javac and to execute Frames and Applets with it ... right now I'm reconfiguring the design and thinking about dropping the highlighter altogether, but thats my story.

Wrong behaviour in link generated by HTML editor

Hi all,
anybody knows if there is some bug in HTML editor used in XML Form Builder projects?
We are facing the following problem:
1) we create a link by filling the html editor area in a news XML edit form
2) save and publish the news
3) in rendering of the news the link doesn't respect the CSS class used for links (e.g. the link is a standard link, blue and underline)
Is it a standard behaviour or not?
Thanks
Marta

Creating a small business website...

Hello! I would like to create a small business website using iweb. I created something simple, and I am happy with it, but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could use it with a regular website address (www.company.com) instead of web.mac.com/company and still use iweb. Any tips or advice would be great. Thanks!

Can't get FCKeditorAPI to load to validate HTML Editor contents

I have an HTML Editor item on my page and wanted to quickly check the length of the text in the editor before submitting the page. It should be possible to get the contents of the HTML Editor using the FCKeditorAPI, but I can't get it to load. I'm doing this by putting basically this in the HTML header:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkLength() {
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('MY_EDITOR');
alert(oEditor.GetXHTML.length);
</script>
Then calling the function when the Save button is clicked. I'm only geting "FCKeditorAPI is not defined" errors, however.

Hi,
I have the same problem, because I want to check the number of characters in the editor field before the values are stored.
And when I tried to get the value of the fckeditor field with document.getElementById(XXX).value; I don`t get the actual value.
So I have to get the value through the instance of the fckeditor.
Thanks for your help,
Tim

Hi jack men,
If you are still interested in a solution to your problem...
We just hit upon the same problem. I found out that XMLForms reference htmledit4.js in their <XMLForm-Name>Edit.xsl, so you have to adapt that one.
I saved htmledit4.js and renamed it to htmledit5.js so that I can change the HTMLEditor settings only for my XMLForm (and not for e.g. SAPNewsForm).
I changed the entry in my XML-Form Editor settings XSL to reference the new JavaScript file:
[code]<xsl:value-of select="$xmlformsroot"/>/htmledit/htmledit5.js</xsl:if>[/code]
Then I copied the method body of htmledit3.js (the standard htmleditor JavaScript file) to htmledit5.js and adapted it to just show the two tragets of self and top.
The method to display link properties is: htmlb_hed_makeWebLinkDialog
Find this method in both files. Then find in htmledit3.js the beginning of the target window selection-box:
[code]sSizerHtml += "<SELECT id=htmlb_hed_link_launch_mode class=\"urDdlWhlSml\">";[/code]
the following lines of code determine the selectable values.
You will notice that htmledit4.js misses a few entries. Just copy all or the ones you need.
For your convenience I show my code here:
[code] sSizerHtml += "<td>";
sSizerHtml += "";
sSizerHtml += "<SELECT id=htmlb_hed_link_launch_mode class=\"urDdlWhlSml\">";
//-- target=_blank
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_blank\" ";
if(modOpenMode==1) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_BLANK"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION>";
//-- target=_parent --
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_parent\" ";
if(modOpenMode==2) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_PARENT"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION>";
//-- target=_search--
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_search\" ";
if(modOpenMode==3) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_SEARCH"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION>";
//--target=_self
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_self\" ";
if(modOpenMode==4) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_SELF"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION>";
//-- target=_top
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_top\" ";
if(modOpenMode==5) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_TOP"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION></SELECT>";
sSizerHtml += "</td>";
sSizerHtml += "</tr>";[/code]
I didn't check yet if a new generation of the XMLForms Project in the XMLFormsBuilder overwrites the changes in the XMLFormsEdit.xsl, however I guess so. A better way would be to adjust the JavaScript reference in some other configuration file that I haven't found yet, until then just adapt the XSL everytime...
If Carsten Buechert contacted you regarding the exchange of the whole control, I would be interested myself as well.
Cheers
Kilian
