How to go to anchor html link from external html page in JEditorPane

Question

Hi people,
I've been trying to jump to an anchor link from an external html page in JEditorPane, and I cannot get it working, I'm sure it can be done somehow...
The HTML page has a link like:
Hello
and this is loaded into JEditorPane ok.
The HyperlinkListener implementation:
public void hyperlinkUpdate( HyperlinkEvent e )
try {
if ( e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED )
editorPane_.setPage( getClass().getResource(
MyDialog.this.getBaseURL().concat( e.getURL().getFile().substring(
e.getURL().getFile().lastIndexOf( "/" ) + 1 ) ) ) );
if ( e.getURL().getRef() != null )
editorPane_.scrollToReference( e.getURL().getRef() );
else return;
} catch ( IOException ioe ) { ioe.printStackTrace(); }
This code loads the new html file ok, but it does not scroll to the anchor. The MyDialog.this.getBaseURL() just returns something like com.name.package, I construct the URL by using this base url and the name of the html file to open.
ANy help, thanks

he! I'm not alone in my desperation. Take a look at my problem:
I've got a JEditorPane (not editable) inside a JFrame. The JEditorPane is loaded with the HTML text and all the links to anchors are working properly when I click on them.
BUT
If I try to go to an anchor from outside this JFrame I can see how the JEditorPane scrolls to the right anchor and suddenly it scrolls back to the place where the caret was located!!!
The "funny thing" is that my code is working in jdk1.3.1 but this is happening in jdk1.4.2. Is it a bug?!?!?!
How could I figure out what position I have to set the caret to for every anchor in order to get the scroll working correctly???
My implementation of hyperlinkUpdate (working properly, here isn't the problem):
   jEditorPane.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener() {
      public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) {
        if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) {
          MiEditorPane src = (MiEditorPane)e.getSource();
          src.goToAnchor(e.getDescription().substring(1));
    });My object jEditorPane is an instance of this class:
  class MiEditorPane extends JEditorPane {
    MiEditorPane() {
      super();
    public void goToAnchor(String anchor) {
      super.scrollToReference(anchor);
  }And this is the method I call from outside the JFrame containing the JEditorPane:
  public void goToAnchor(String anchor) {
     jEditorPane.goToAnchor(anchor);
  }Any help greatly appreciated ...
