*help to show a HTML file in Swing*

As camickr said Javascript support is not available. If you want to support you have to write code for that. Up to an extent CSS support is provided.
Sample code to display HTML pages in JTexPane (you can use JEditorPane as well):
Construct the URL:
URL url = YourClass.class.getResource("resources/Hello.html");
// If YourClass is in package test.html, then your html page must be available in .....test/html/resources directory.
// And your CSS files must be accessible from your HTML page. This you can test by simply opening the html
// page in your favorite browser.And then call setPage() method of HelpDataPane. Note that, HelpDataPane supports hyperlink activation.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;
import javax.swing.event.HyperlinkEvent;
import javax.swing.event.HyperlinkListener;

     * Sets the current URL being displayed. The content type of the

    @Override
    public void setPage(URL page) {
        try {
            super.setPage(page);
        } catch (IOException ex) {

Help Needed in opening a HTML File from swing application

Hi,
I am opening a HTML file in Internet Explorer from my swing application.
I am using the code given below
private final static String WIN_FLAG = "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
private final static String WIN_PATH = "rundll32";
String cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
// url is HTML file Path
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
The HTML file is opening up,but it always opens behind the swing application,that makes me every time to maximize the HTML file after it being opened up.
I want to open it in front of the Swing Application.
Any Help Please ?
- Manikandan

Check your Application's JFrame properties (may be ur Frame is set to be in top position ,always),and also check running your application in some other OS.

     public static void main(String[] args) {
          EventQueue.invokeLater(new HTMLViewer());
}If that's not what you're looking for you need to ask more specific questions.

How to create html files using Swing

I am developing a billing system in java. I want to generate cash memo and other related documents in HTML format. I have explored html package in swing but without result. Please help me.
Arshad

Hi,
I agree with the previous poster. An additional way of generating HTML would be to directly write it. Class SHTMLWriter in package com.lightdev.app.shtm of application SimplyHTML at http://www.lightdev.com/template.php4?id=3 gives this opportunity.
With this, you can do something such as /**
   * example of synthesizing HTML code to a Writer using
   * class SHTMLWriter
   * @param fileName the name of the file to write HTML to
public void writeHTML(String fileName) {
    try {
      FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(fileName);
      SHTMLWriter w = new SHTMLWriter(fw);
      w.startTag(HTML.Tag.HTML.toString(), null);
      w.startTag(HTML.Tag.BODY.toString(), null);
      SimpleAttributeSet set = new SimpleAttributeSet();
      set.addAttribute(CSS.Attribute.FONT_FAMILY, "SansSerif");
      set.addAttribute(CSS.Attribute.FONT_SIZE, "12");
      w.startTag(HTML.Tag.P.toString(), set);
      fw.write("some text");
      w.endTag(HTML.Tag.P.toString());
      w.endTag(HTML.Tag.BODY.toString());
      w.endTag(HTML.Tag.HTML.toString());
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}The HTML output is hard coded in this example. Certainly any HTML code can be created dynamically/programmatically instead. Class SHTMLWriter is partly meant as a convenience class for writing HTML. One can just through start and end tags as in above example. In the start tag any valid AttributeSet can be given.

Show local html file

How do you do this. I tried the following which works nice on Windows but fails on MacOSX:
LrHttp.openUrlInBrowser(_PLUGIN:resourceId "doc.html")
Ho do YOU show a local helpfile (pdf or html) cross-platform-compatible? Thanks in advance.

I did not try "execute" yet, because I had in my mind that in windows the parameter for the application can be omitted and on a Mac you must give the application to execute.
That's correct. On the Mac, you need to use the "open" program, which will open any file in its native application, e.g.
open "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Plugins/PluginName.lrdevplugin/help.html"
Here is the code my Any File plugin uses to open any arbitrary file in its native application:
        if WIN_ENV then
            LrShell.openFilesInApp ({""}, file)
        else
            LrShell.openFilesInApp ({file}, "open")
            end
It occurs to me that I may not have explicitly tested this with filenames containing spaces on the Mac, so I don't know if the openFilesInApp() function handles spaces correclty.   If it doesn't, then you can always drop down and call LrTasks.execute() directly.

I need to show an html file from an application

Hi there!, I really need your help...
I have the absolute path in an String variable:
String fileHTML = "C:\\AllCitiHTML\\GeneralHTML_Files\\Temp\\2002030925General.htm";
Now, I need to show this page in a browser(explorer or netscape) but the page must be showed in both.
I tried with this code, but it doesn't show nothing
String urlName = fileHTML;
String browser = "iexplore ";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(browser + urlName);
in addition it would only serve for explorer and not for netscape.
reply this message with all the possible code that you can use...
Please I need help very urgent, thanks

Program not showing in open with context for HTML files

I have a windows 8.1 64 Pro PC with a program called 1stPage.exe installed.
When I right click a .txt file I get 'Edit with 1st Page' in the context menu and it also shows in the open
with menu.
However HTML files do not show these options. I have checked the registry and it would appear that the program
is set up on the open with menu exactly the same for both file types.
So it would appear that something is blocking 1stPage from showing against HTML files but I can't figure out
what I need to change.
Cheers
Baz

OK we have further developments
I tried installing this program on a Windows 7 32bit machine and I get exactly the same issue.
I tried it with both IE and chrome as default browsers and I tried changing default html editor.
I therefore suspect this when this program installs it is not setting all the registry entries windows 7/8
require.
I know it's an old program but I have been using it for years and see no reason to change.
So I need help in understanding what I need to do to get windows 7/8 to display the context menu entry correctly

JEditorPane problem with showing html file

Hey,
I have a JEditorPane in which I would like to show a HTML file that is stored in the same directory (local, not from the web).
       String url = "index.html";
        try
            JEditorPane htmlPane = new JEditorPane(url);
            htmlPane.setEditable(false);
            frame.add(new JScrollPane(htmlPane));
        catch(IOException ioe)
            System.err.println("Error displaying " + url);
        } It should also work once the whole program is "packaged" into a .jar file.
With the code above I cant get the index.html file to be displayed in the htmlPane.
Any suggestions?
thanks.

The JEditorPane has a method called setPage that loads a URL into the pane, you can always transform internal jar locations to URLs using e.g. CurrentObject.class.getResource("/internal/jar/location/text.html")

Writing html file in a jeditorpane

I have read one of your threads titled as "How to insert a string in a JEditorPane (Urgent)". according to this thread I am using insertString() method to write in an jeditorpane. what I am writing is an html file. when I used insertString() method it doesn't show the html content in my jeditotpane. it displays the source code of my html file. I have setContentType("text/html"); moreover I used setText() and it shows the html file correctly but it over writes the previous content of jeditorpane. please help me to be able to
write to a jeditorpane without overwriting and displaying html file properly not its source code.
following is my code:
         fr = new FileReader("myfile.html");
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
     while ((lineread = br.readLine()) != null)
          find.append(lineread);

               String temp = index.toString();

Welcome to the Sun forums.
Subject: writing html file in a jeditorpane
If you mean a JEditorPane then please use the correct case, so we can be confident you refer to the J2SE class, as opposed to a 3rd party jeditorpane that we neither know, nor support.

Trying to display a local HTML file

Hi all,
My program saves an HTML file to disc. If the user presses a button I want to display a new window that shows the HTML file. I know the file is good because I have viewed it in Internet Explorer. I have trawled the forums and got the following code. But i can't understand why its not working.
Any help would be much appreciated.
p.s. The HTML file was saved as a string so is all on one line. But IE doesn't seem to mind

a new window does pop up that is tiny.
When I drag it out the two buttons are there but the area below is just the blank textArea.
Not surprisingly this is caused because the IOException is called.
The command prompt screen shows "uff" so there is an error loading the file. Is there a way that I can just use the "line" variable?
Can't understand why its not loading because it loads fine for the buffered reader.

HTML file is not being shown properly in the JEditorPane

Hi,
I am using JEditorPane to display an HTML file from the local disk. This HTML file contains the html tables. Now when this file is getting displayed in the JEditorPane, one top row grid is not being displayed in the editor pane. content of the row is there...but the column grid is missing. All other rows and columns are being shown but the first row-column grid which contains the heading for column.
Also when I m printing the content of this JEditorPane using Java Print API then no grid is being printed on the paper. content is coming properly but no table grids. when i have taken the print out of the original html file from the browser then table grids are being printed out properly.
Please do help me out in showing the HTML file in the JEditorPane properly and printing the same.
Many Thanks,
gshankar

Hi,
JEditorPane renders HTML with many limitations.
You can use JDIC for the same. refer: jdic.dev.java.net
But JDIC does not work on windows 98.
