Detecting links in a JEditorPane

Question

Hello!
I'm using a small JEditorPane (220px by 100px) to display simple HTML pages. The contents of the pane can be scrolled using the standard scroll bar. What I'd like to be able to do is to detect if any links are currently visible in the pane. So, if I'm scrolling through a page and a link comes in to view in the JEditorPane, I'd like my app to detect that a link is visible.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Matt
You can find all the links available on any html page. below is the code.
Document baseDocument = textPane.getDocument();
if (baseDocument instanceof DefaultStyledDocument) {
DefaultStyledDocument hdoc = (DefaultStyledDocument) baseDocument;
HTMLDocument.Iterator htmlDocumentIterator= null;
AttributeSet tagAttributeSet=null;
Enumeration enum= null;
htmlDocumentIterator = ((HTMLDocument)hdoc).getIterator(HTML.Tag.A);
while(htmlDocumentIterator.isValid()){
tagAttributeSet = htmlDocumentIterator.getAttributes();
enum = tagAttributeSet.getAttributeNames();
     while(enum.hasMoreElements()){
     Object obj = enum.nextElement();
htmlDocumentIterator.next();
Even i was struglling with the same problem. But now my problem is how to identify a link when ever amouse is positioned over a link. I was able to achieve with j2sdk1.4 but since i want it to be done by using j2sdk1.3 . Since in 1.3 HyperlinkEvent doesn't return element object. Now what i need to do is i need to generate the offset position using mouse movement . Please let me know if you or anyone knows about it. its urgent
