Display HTML in JEditorPane

Question

Hi
I am trying to display a String containing HTML text on a JEditorPane.
I have downloaded the HTML from a webpage using sockets, and now I want to display the downloaded page. I have a project in school about sockets.
This is why I can't use getPage(URL);
The following is the code I am using:
String temp = "String with HTML text"
HTMLEditorKit htmlEdKit = new HTMLEditorKit();
JEditorPane.setEditorKit(htmlEdKit);
JEditorPane.setContentType("text/html");
JEditorPane.setEditorKitForContentType("text/html", htmlEdKit);
JEditorPane.setContentType("text");
JEditorPane.setText(temp);
When I run the code, all that is displaying is the raw HTML code, with all the tags. As I understand it, this is how it should be done.
What is wrong, would appreciate some help.

it's not necessary to use socket but if use socket get the inputstream from it.
in = socket.getinputstream(); //return inputstream from socket
htmldoc = JEditorPane.getDocument(); //return the htmldoc in JEditorPane
if(htmldoc.getlength()>0)
htmldoc.remove(0,htmlDoc.getLength());//if the htmldoc has some content then remove it
reader = new InputStreamReader(in);//construct a new reader from in
JEditorPane.getEditorKit.read(reader,htmldoc,0); //read new content into the htmldoc from reader
Hope the above code helps you.
