How to change the color for HTML words in JEditorPane?

Question

Hi Sir,
In the JTextPane , we could change the word's color by using:
Style style = doc.addStyle("test",null);
StyleConstants.setForeground(style, Color.red);
doc.setCharacterAttributes(10,20,syle,true);
we can change the text into red color,which range is from 10 to 30.
But how to change the color for HTML words in JEditorPane?

Hi,
you can use an AttributeSet to apply the foreground color. Let's say, doc is a HTMLDocument, then SimpleAttributeSet set = new SimpleAttributeSet();
doc.getStyleSheet().addCSSAttribute(set, CSS.Attribute.COLOR, "#0D0D0D"); would apply a color to a given AttributeSet. The AttributeSet with your color then can be applied to a selected range of text in a JEditorPane by   /**
   * set the attributes for a given editor. If a range of
   * text is selected, the attributes are applied to the selection.
   * If nothing is selected, the input attributes of the given
   * editor are set thus applying the given attributes to future
   * inputs.
   * @param editor  the editor pane to apply the attributes to
   * @param a  the set of attributes to apply
  public void applyAttributes(JEditorPane editor, AttributeSet a) {
    ((HTMLDocument) editor.getDocument()).getStyleSheet().addCSSAttribute(set, CSS.Attribute.COLOR, "#0D0D0D");
    editor.requestFocus();
    int start = editor.getSelectionStart();
    int end = editor.getSelectionEnd();
    if(end != start) {
      doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, a, false);
    else {
      MutableAttributeSet inputAttributes =
        ((SHTMLEditorKit) editor.getEditorKit()).getInputAttributes();
      inputAttributes.addAttributes(a);
  } Ulrich
