Help with displaying formated text

Question

I need some advice in displaying the results from my program. I recieve these results from a CGI program and then display it. I can format how the CGI outputs the text however I want, but in an attempt to make it look nice I have the CGI output html syntax and place my data in nice tables. This text I then send to a JEditorPanel and tell it the text type is html. But there are two problems. The first is, that the results look terrible. It places huge spaces between lines of text, the text is formated bad and at the beginning is the text "head", and "/head" inside of two boxes. The thing is though, if I view this same text straight in Netscape it looks great, but whatever HTML I send to the JEditorPanel looks terrible. Is there a way to improve its results or is there another , better thing to use than the JEditorPanel or a better way to use the JEditorPanel that will allow me to create a pretty, formated text output?

This was an old post of mine and I don't remember exactly how I was trying to do it, but the problem was just something with the way I was setting up my JEditorPane.
Now I declare it like this:
     javax.swing.JEditorPane ResultsDisplay = new javax.swing.JEditorPane();
     JScrollPane ResultsDisplayScrollPlane = new JScrollPane(ResultsDisplay);
     HTMLEditorKit htmlEdKit = new HTMLEditorKit();And I do this to set it up during initialization:
          ResultsDisplay.setEditable(false);
          ResultsDisplay.setEditorKit(htmlEdKit);
          ResultsDisplay.setContentType("text/html");
          ResultsDisplay.setEditorKitForContentType("text/html", htmlEdKit);and this during run time to display my HTML formated text:
               Document doc = ResultsDisplay.getEditorKit().createDefaultDocument();
               ResultsDisplay.setDocument(doc);
               System.out.println(inputLine);
               ResultsDisplay.setText(inputStore.toString());
               getContentPane().validate();
                       getContentPane().repaint();some of this could be redundant, but it works.
But are you sure you don't want the dukes? They're stuck to this question and I don't know what else to do with them
