HTML Editor in Applet

How can I show HTML file in JEditorPan in applet. For example the html is placed on the web server.
What happens when the client is behind firewall ?
URL imgURL = getClass().getResource("//" + fileName.html);
Is it the right way ?
Thanks in advance!!!

putting the URL as a resource is not a good way...
If you just want to open the file for read only, try using JEditorPane.setPage(URL pageurl);

I need free Java-applet HTML-Editor. Where I can find it????
Thanks.

NetBeans or Forte is supposed to do that now. I've not had an occasion to try to do it in either yet though.

Applet - HTML editor

Hi!
I'm having some troubles with changes in the font of a JEditorPane. The only way i could change the font was:
Action action = new HTMLEditorKit.boldAction(); //this even create the button...
But i need to put it all in a JComboBox. I get the item but i can't change the font or the size... i need this to make an html editor on the fly for web, and i'm totally lost...
Second question: how can i display an preview of the html bein generated?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
too much to explain here in detail, but my open source application SimplyHTML has all you look for at http://www.lightdev.com/dev/sh.htm
There is a tutorial too.
Have fun

HTML Editor

Well, Howard Kistler has certainly already signed with an editor to sell its HTML Editor Applet. So instead of being parasites and begging for code, why not spit in our hands and code it by ourselves ?
I've made some tries yesterday for a HTML editor application. So far, there is an appli where one can edit text, and set it bold or italic with a menu. One can also dump the HTML code to stdout.
Here is the code, it's very simple, and after that I'll have some questions for you.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Bla extends JFrame {
    JEditorPane jep;
    Hashtable actions;
    private Action getActionByName(String name) {
        return (Action)(actions.get(name));
    public Bla() {
        jep = new JEditorPane();
        jep.setContentType ("text/html");
        // shouldn't insert HTML test not done with a JEditorPane
        // jep.setText ("This is a <b>test</b> !!");
        // store and display available actions for this Editor Kit
        actions = new Hashtable();
        Action[] actionsArray = jep.getEditorKit().getActions();
        for (int i = 0; i < actionsArray.length; i++) {
            Action a = actionsArray;
actions.put(a.getValue(Action.NAME), a);
System.out.println (a.getValue(Action.NAME) + " = " + a);
System.out.println ("TEST : " + HTMLEditorKit.BOLD_ACTION); // --> "html-bold-action" !!
// builds menu bar
JMenuBar jmb = new JMenuBar();
setJMenuBar (jmb);
JMenu jm = new JMenu("commands");
jmb.add (jm);
jm.add (getActionByName ("font-bold"));
jm.add (getActionByName ("font-italic"));
JMenuItem out = new JMenuItem("output text");
jm.add (out);
out.addActionListener (new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println ("CONTENT : " + jep.getText ());
// insert editor to a scroller and add all that to our frame
JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane();
     JViewport port = scroller.getViewport();
     port.add(jep);
getContentPane().add (scroller, BorderLayout.CENTER);
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
pack();
setSize (400, 400);
show ();
public static void main (String args[]) {
new Bla();
Questions :
1) When we display HTMLEditorKit.BOLD_ACTION, the result is "html-action-bold" but this action does not exist in the action list that we got from the EditorPane ! Is it a bug or just something I didn't understand ?
2) Is it a comprehensive list of all available actions on an EditorPane ?
3) If you try to set the HTML text by yourself, the Editor won't like it unless it is perfectly structured (usage of <p>, by example). Strange behaviour and bugs will occur if you try it.
4) When the HTML content is sent back, it is enclosed in <html><head></head><body>...</body></html>. What part of the architecure generates this code and how to get rid of it (not by String manipulations, of course).
Thanks for your help. And see you soon for the next version !

HTML editor (URGENT...PLEASE PLEASE)

Hi,
I developp an HTML editor (JTextPane) and I have several problems :
1) when I use setText() to load some code I have generated previously, there is a new line which is inserted at the end of the document (new paragraph in fact). how can I remove it?
2) when I insert a new image (<IMAGE SRC=....>) at the beginning of a paragraph the image is inserted at the end of the previous paragraph
3) the editor is an applet. So when I insert an animated gif in a document and reload the applet the gif disappears. I have read that Image.flush must be used but this method deletes some components!
Thank you

Creating a PHP/HTML Editor

I'm doing a school project on a PHP/HTML Editor.
I'm looking for some help on finding a good tutorial on changing properties to a JEditorPane. I want to set up the indent size, colors for tags, comments, statements, etc...
anyone help??

Here, I stole this code from the advanced forum on Saturday and tried to develop it, though gave up when I couldn't get setTabs or load file to work and tooltips was too damn slow.
I had an idea that I could use it to run javac and to execute Frames and Applets with it ... right now I'm reconfiguring the design and thinking about dropping the highlighter altogether, but thats my story.

HTML Editors and Greek Language

Hi all,
When using the HTML Editor the value that is stored in the database
is
&Delta &epsilon &nu &upsilon &pi ά&rho &chi &epsilon &iota&alpha &pi ό&theta &epsilon &mu &alpha (Deleted ; in the end of each character so that I can show you what I mean).
instead of Δεν υπάρχει απόθεμα
This doesn't happen when I use text item or text area.
Can I do something about it?
APEX version 3.1.0.00.32
Thanks in advance

Peggy,
FrontPage 97 / 98 have both worked really well for us, however we
discovered a slight hitch with 98 where the Editor would gobble up
<?FORTE ..> tags inside the SELECT OPTION tag, but you can work around
that one, apart from this FP98 is a great HTML editor. I also thought
HotMetal was a good fit.These observations come out of evaluating about
5-6 leading HTML editors.
Some recommended steps in the process:
1) Create a prototype by laying out all the HTML using an Editor. Figure
out all the navigation within your web. More recent features seen in
HTML editors such as JavaScript generation and DHTML / CSS support are
really difficult to work out on your own, let the advanced Editors do as
much dirty work for you as poss.
2) Once the prototype is finalized, for all the pages requiring any
dynamic content generation, figure out all the Tag Handlers you will
need. Change the HTML Content by inserting the FORTE tags as required,
code the corresponding Handlers.
3) Figure out the relation between page requests and the security
requirements for your pages, design the Session properties and data
tracing across requests using the Session object.
4) Do refer to all the Tech Notes on the Forte web site for known
issues.
As for the Java applets frontend, we have used Java - IIOP - Forte since
early beta through every Forte release (3.0.X) and it works fine with
WebEnterprise and release 30f2.

I'd like to know any opinions on HTML editors and their use with

evaluations to determine the best editor to use with the Forte

do you have experience using

Textarea with HTML editor is not working

Hi all,
This is producing me a real headache.
I created the simplest application in the world with one Textarea with HTML editor, and the editor control does not show the usual tool bar for fonts, color, alignment, etc. Just a ordinary textarea.
Moreover, this was working before... I moved to another location in my work (me, not the server). Yes, I thought about the Internet Explorer, but Firefox has the same issue.
So any idea I can try to make this work?
I have another applications already in production with the same issue.
Need help!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.
Lukas.
Application Express 2.1.0.00.39
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11
Firefox 1.5.0.11
Windows XP Service Pack 2

Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz

Lukas,
I would go and integrate FCKEDITOR (http://www.fckeditor.net/ ) into your application.
Here are instructions on how to achieve this (sorry but only in German):
http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/tipps/einbinden_fckeditor/index.html
It basically means:
1) copying the files from fckeditor under the /images directory
(you can use the instructions here: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html)
2) creating two shortcuts INCLUDE_EDITOR_SCRIPTS and EDITOR
3) placing the shortcut INCLUDE_EDITOR_SCRIPTS into the page html header and
4) placing the shortcut EDITOR into the post element text of your plain textarea element
That's it.
BTW, FCKEDITOR has been included in Apex 3.0 as a standard item type.
Regards,
~Dietmar.

Creating a small HTML-Editor using JEditorPane

Hello! I'm trying to create a small HTML-Editor. Via this editor users shall be capable to create formatted text (bold, italic, underlined, different sizes, different fonts, different colors). Furthermore, if the user pushes the enter-button a new line-break (<br>) shall be inserted. Basically my editor is working but with some big problems:
1. When I create an instance of my editor, I initialize it with some html-code.
this.m_EditorPane.setText("<html><head></head><body></body></html>"); Without this initialization between the <body> and </body> <p> and </p> will be inserted, what I don't want. But if I push now the enter-button at the beginning, <br>-tag will not be inserted in the <body>-area but in the <head>-area.
2. Styling text is working really good, but when I insert a line-break (via enter-button), the <br>-tag is inserted after the (e.g.) closing bold-tag (</b>). So, in the next line, this style-property must be reselected.
Can anybody help me to change this behavior?
Kind regards, Stefan
P.S. The way I insert the <br>-tag:
JEditorPane editor = getEditor(ae);
HTMLDocument doc = getHTMLDocument(editor);
HTMLEditorKit kit = getHTMLEditorKit(editor);
editor.replaceSelection("");
int offset = editor.getCaretPosition();
kit.insertHTML(doc, offset, "<br>", 0, 0, HTML.Tag.BR);
editor.getCaret().setDot(editor.getCaretPosition());P.P.S. Sorry for my bad english :-/

Who can help me with replacing the standard HTML editor in WPC?

Hi all,
We have chosen to replace the standard HTML Editor in the Web Page Composer by the TinyMCE Editor. I have worked my way through the document written by Boris Magocsi (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f04b5c5d-3fd2-2a10-8ab0-8fa90e3ac162) and the TinyMCE Editor is diplayed when we add or edit a paragraph.
However, we can not type any text in the input field anymore and we can not click any of the buttons in the TinyMCE editor. Can anybody help a total Javascript newby with fixing this? Full points will be awarded obviuosly. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jan
Note: We are on NW 7.0 SP 15 and the WPC component is not patched yet. We are trying to complete that today and patch it to patch level 1.

Run script in HTML editor in WebView WP8.1

I am developing an app in which I need to give HTML editing facility to the user. So I tried different HTML editors but finally TinyMCE was able to show controls for editing. But I am not able to set the contents of Editor. It gives Exception Exception
from HRESULT: 0x80020101. And I tried all different solutions but could not figure it out. Here is link to my project
string tinyMice = "<script type='text/javascript'> function myfun() {tinymce.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, getQueryStrings());}myfun()</script>";
await System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
await webview_demo.InvokeScriptAsync("eval", new string[] { tinyMice });
Can somebody help?

hey,
I am not sure what you exactly want to do but I took a look at the project you uploaded.
First of all, you better use the NavigationCompleted or
FrameNavigationCompleted event for executing onload functions.
I have no idea about the tinymce js plugin but here is what I did to create a similar scenario.
1) First, create a js function in the removeformat.html to return a string (replacing your getQueryStrings functions)
function returnMessageValue() {
return "Hello JS World";
2) then create a script notify event handler and wire it up to the page so we can get alerts from the html page loaded.
In NavigationCompleted event:
string result = await this.webview_demo.InvokeScriptAsync("eval", new string[] { "window.alert = function (AlertMessage) {window.external.notify(AlertMessage)}" });
this will notify the webview about window.alert's. So we subscribe to the Script notify event:
webview_demo.ScriptNotify += (sender, args) =>
MessageDialog m = new MessageDialog(args.Value);
m.ShowAsync();
and finally the code execution for our function:
await webview_demo.InvokeScriptAsync("eval", new[] { "window.alert(returnMessageValue())" });
// await webview_demo.InvokeScriptAsync("eval",
// new[] { "tinymce.execCommand(\"mceInsertContent\", false, getQueryStrings())" });
result:
hope it helps

Wrong behaviour in link generated by HTML editor

Hi all,
anybody knows if there is some bug in HTML editor used in XML Form Builder projects?
We are facing the following problem:
1) we create a link by filling the html editor area in a news XML edit form
2) save and publish the news
3) in rendering of the news the link doesn't respect the CSS class used for links (e.g. the link is a standard link, blue and underline)
Is it a standard behaviour or not?
Thanks
Marta
