HTML tag insertion problems

I'm new here, any forum mods that have a better spot for this to go, feel free to put it there.
Ok, here's my situation. I'm trying to write a note-taking application, which displays said notes in HTML, in a JEditorPane. I figure HTML is a good way to display them, as it supports bold, italics, highlighting, links, tables, bullets, etc, all of which are very handy in notes. However, adding all those things to the notes dynamically (as one does when taking those notes) is getting very complicated. Specifically, say I want to highlight (by changing the background color) a selection of text. I can do this fine, by inserting the appropriate tags, but when it comes time to unhighlight (all or partially) things get confusing, and a LOT of edge cases pop up very quickly. Anybody have someplace I can go to where this has been done before? I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to essentially implement a subset of Office's formatting capabilities, and apparently OpenOffice doesn't use Java to do this.
Also, would RTF format be a better alternative? I know next to nothing about how it works, but maybe it's easier to do this in it, considering it's designed to handle these sorts of things.

Replace HTML tags within column values

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where I have some text which has HTML tags inserted within it and I need to insert either Presentation variable or a GO URL replacing that tag. Problem is that this text is value of a column from table. It is not something which I type( because the text can change dynamically). e.g
Column header: Main Text
Row1: <<COMPANY_NAME>>
Row2: As of <<AF_OF_DATE>>
instead of <<COMPANY_NAME>> and <<AS_OF_DATE>>, I need to insert amounts from another table which have this unique tags and associated amounts. Can this be done?
I have to these columns in different places throughout the report in narrative views. e.g
1st narrative view will have only column 1 and row 1 and row 2.. 2nd narrative view will have only column 3 and row1...
This is really really important part of a report. So please help me out with ideas.
Thanks,
Dan

I tried calling the column in a narrative view and the result looks like :
As of <<AS_OF_DATE>>. how can I replace "<<AS_OF_DATE>>" with a value?

BC won't allow me to insert code (scripts) between the /body and the /html tags.

Hi guys,
So I have this weird problem. I'm trying to insert some codes between the </body> and the </html> tags in the page templates. It's saving it. But if you check the page, the code is showing before the </body>, not after. Here's the code that I'm trying to insert.
<script src="http://i.simpli.fi/dpx.js?cid=1534&action=100&segment=198566&m=1"></script>
I have also tried adding this code by downloading the templates through ftp, adding the code, then uploading it to the server. Same thing. I even added type="text/javascript" in the code. Still no go. BC wouldn't insert it between </body> and </html>. Any ideas guys?
- Jeff

So an update.
I was told by Adobe chat support to try adding the script after the body via javascript.
So I added this before </head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = '//i.simpli.fi/dpx.js?cid=1534&action=100&segment=198566&m=1';
script.type = 'text/javascript';
$("html").append(script);
</script>
Still not working. Any ideas guys?

Inserting custom HTML tags into a HTMLDocument to be displayed in a JEditor

Does anyone know how to insert custom tags into a HTMLDocument to be displayed in a JEditorPane?
I have tried using the following code,
kit.insertHTML( doc,
                jep.getCaretPosition(),
                "<testtag>FFFF</testtag>",
                0,
                0,
                new HTML.UnknownTag("testtag") );When the above code is run the handleStartTag, handleEndTag and handleText methods are called on the HTMLReader but nothing is inserted into the document model? Can anyone help?
I have created an instance of HTML.UnknownTag,
public static HTML.Tag testTag = new HTML.UnknownTag("testtag");I have subclassed HTMLEditorKit and overridden the getParser() method,
protected Parser getParser(){
    DTD dtd = null;
    try {
      dtd = createDTD( DTD.getDTD("html32"), "html32" );
    } catch ( Exception e ) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    dtd.getElement( "testtag" );
    Parser p = new ParserAdaptor( new DocumentParser( dtd ) );
    return p;
}I have subclassed HTMLDocument and HTMLDocument.HTMLReader and created a TagAction for my new tag.
The following code works fine, the custom tag is in the document model,
    String contents =    "<html>"
                       + "<body>"
                       + "<testtag>Here is some text</testtag>"
                       + "</body>"
                       + "</html>";
    ((HTMLDocument)jep.getDocument()).setPreservesUnknownTags(true);
    jep.setText( contents );

I've been trying to get <blockquote> insert working in an editor but it seems to be a quite difficult task even if it's only about inserting a couple of tags into the right slot! This is the closest I got:
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument)editor.getDocument();
int start = editor.getCaretPosition()
int paraStart = doc.getParagraphElement(start).getStartOffset();
int paraEnd = doc.getParagraphElement(start).getEndOffset();
String insideBlockQuotes = doc.getText(paraStart, paraEnd - paraStart);
doc.setOuterHTML(doc.getParagraphElement(start),"<blockquote><p>"+insideBlockQuotes+"</p></blockquote>");
This is how it works: Get the current paragraphs start and end positions, read the text between the start and end into a string, replace the paragrapElement with <blockquote><p>..the text from string..</p></blockquote>.
This works 'in about' but it's far from perfect.. it has the following problems:
1. It looses all formatting from the quoted paragraph (bold etc. tags from the quoted part)
2. It assumes that the paragraphElement was a <p> (could have been another element too!)
3. It's ugly
Anybody come up with a better way to use blockquote?

Problem removing html tags from the text retrived

Hi there,
I am using jdbc to connect the database and retriving the data. In one of the columns along with the description there are some html tags in few of the recors of that column. is there a way to retrive the text only ignoring the html tags in between. Or can i retrive and then strip off the html code in the text to display only normal text.
example of the data retrived which are pipe seperated and one of the columns has html tags in it:
209|The euphoria |187945-2|http://www.abc/lst.jsp?mktgChannel=I86023&sku=18791-2&siteID=qpF0HYnRugA|http://www.abc.com/assets/images/product/medium/18793-2_198.jpg|Rooftop Singers: Walk Right In | abc Music proudly presents THE FOLK YEARS, an unforgettable era in music history!<BR><BR><B>Featuring:</B><BR>
<LI>The most complete collection of folk and folk-rock songs ever put together -- 132 classics!
<LI>Original hits by the original artists!
Now i need to remove the tags before displaying this on the output. Is there a simple way to do this.
Thanks...

Did you read the documentation of the trim() method,
where it describes which whitespace it removes?I believe his problem is that
"Some text here
<blah>
More text"becomes
"Some text here
More text"... and he wants ...
"Some text here
More text"So, your problem is that your regex isn't matching whitespace as well.
See the "Trimming Whitespace" section:

Storing HTML TAG content in StringBuffer Problem..

respected sir...
currently i am working with one project in that i want to put whole table content in StringBuffer that goes for image creation .....and finally image is created for whole table
how can i put the HTML tags in imageBuffer.... i have tried with this...
StringBuffer ImageContent=new StringBuffer();
ImageContent.append(out.print("<table>"));
ImageContent.append(out.print("</table>"));
ImageContent.append(out.print("<tr>"));
ImageContent.append(out.print("</tr>"));
but not working is there any way to build table using StringBuffer that has whole Table Content With Data....
thanks in advance......regards.....

Hi.
Some remarks (no offence though...):
1) StringBuffer is synchronized. In case your object instance will not be used by other threads concurrently, you should use StringBuilder class instead (which offers the same methods)
2) when posting code samples, formatting them as code makes them easier for others to read
3) variable names are written with a lower case first letter by convention
4) shouldn't the "tr"s be between the opening and the closing "table"-tags?
5) it would be helpful to have an indication on what type "out" is and why you are using it...
For your problem: why do you pass your Strings to "out.print()"? StringBuffer directly takes Strings as arguments (among others).
Without having tried your sample, I would suggest you try somthing like the following:
StringBuffer imageContent=new StringBuffer();
imageContent.append("<table>");
imageContent.append("<tr>");
imageContent.append("</tr>");
imageContent.append("</table>");Bye.

Struts portlet Instance Label problem: Appending the html tags in jsp

I have created a struts portlet and given it a Instance Label. I have used struts-adapter-html.tld tld in my jsp which is referenced by my struts portlet. But the problem with using this taglib is that the portlet Instance Label is appended to all the html tags on the JSP as a result of which when the page is submitted, formbean will not pick any of the values as the name will not match. Has anyone has faced this kind of problem? How can I prevent the appending of the HTML tags with the portlet Instance Label?
Please help me overcome this problem..
Thanks in Advance ...

1. To begin with, I would not recommend NOT to append portlet instance label to html tags. This is very much required. Take atleast 2 scenarios. If you dropped 2 instances for Same Portlet like News/Articles portlet etc on same page, you need to identify the html fields uniquely for each portlet so that backend java code works properly. Also if you have 2 different portlets assuming you did not give any name to form tag, and if you have html tags with same name, you need to identify them. Remember when portal or desktop is rendered, it is one big html file with html fragmetns from all .portlets files. So I am not sure if there is any option at all, to avoid the appending of instance label value to html tags.
2. Coming to your usecase, I did had this problem once in 8.1 SPxx long back. All we did was, in the back end code, using BackingFile we could get the intance label value of the portlet. We can get this in pageflow also. Then pass this value and manually append this value to the html field of interest. In your case looks like you have Struts and tld tags. See somehow if you can get portlet instance label in jsp file and pass around to your tag lib code in request parameters etc. This is just one idea. I am not fully aware of your code, so try something along these lines.

Struts bean/html tag problem

i am writing this url_element on screen
<bean:write name="url_element"/>
then i got a link
<html:link action="urlDetail.do?url=???">aaa</html:link>
how can i transfer the url_element into ??? do i need to write something like <%...%>?

just found the solution:
You can't use a <bean:write> tag inside an <html:link> tag. Struts doesn't support it.
The easiest way to fix this is to abandon use of <html:link> and just use the plain old html tags <a></a>. Then you will have no problem substituting parameters with <bean:write> tags.
The only advantage <html:link> has over the plain html tag is that it automatically does URL rewriting (Adding of the jsessionid to the URL so that sessions may be tracked even if the user has turned cookies off). If you're not using this function anyway, as most modern websites don't, you may as well use the html tag.
If you still want to use <html:link>, use the struts-el version of the html tags and use EL expressions instead of <bean:write> tags.

Insert HTML.Tag attributes?

Hey,
How would I insert html attributes? I am making a HTML Editor.
The following are some valid java html attributes. How would I insert it properly?
HTML.Tag.P, HTML.Tag.BLOCKQUOTE, HTML.Tag.CENTER,
HTML.Tag.CITE, HTML.Tag.CODE, HTML.Tag.H1, HTML.Tag.H2,
HTML.Tag.H3, HTML.Tag.H4, HTML.Tag.H5, HTML.Tag.H6,
HTML.Tag.PRE
Like for example, to make text bold, you would do
MutableAttributeSet attr = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setBold(attr, true);
textpane.setCharacterAttributes(attr,false);
Is there similar code like the one above to add HTML.Tags like the ones I listed above in my post?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
sorry about the delay, couldn't find this thread last night.
Useful docs:
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/text/element_interface/index.html
and
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/text/attributes/
Those methods are in javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument and take the form insertBeforeStart(Element, String). As I said yesterday, as soon as you have text then the caret is in a character Element and a Paragraph element. So for e.g. if you're in a P element and you want to create an H1 element, how do you do it? If the user clicks your H1 button then you create an empty heading, easy enough. But if they have some text selected then you have a choice. You could just create an empty H1 or you could assume that they have typed the H1 content and have highlighted it so that it becomes an H1. You then have to change the existing element so that is no longer has the (now H1) text in it.
That's where the other two methods (setInnerHTML and setOuterHTML) come into play.
The other problemette that I'm working on is reseting text back to normal after it has been formatted.
Suppose you have a P paragraph. The user highlights a single word, clicks Bold. That's easy. Then they decide that they don't want it bold, so they click the Normal button. Taking bold off is easy, but should you. What if the paragraph element was actually an H1 element. If you turn bold off now then that word no longer matches the H1 style.
You could check at the caret position just before the start of the element that the user has selected and see what the style is there. BUt then waht if the user has the word before perhaps underlined. Again it's unreliable.
Also I'm finding then when I remove the bold formatting that the element isn't being reabsorbed into it's parent. In a paragraph if I go through and make each word formatted (B, i, u) and then switch the formatting off word at a time I end up with each word as an element.
Still working on these, so I'll post a solution when I have one.

Problems setting 'allow HTML snippet insertion' in Contribute 4

I am trying to set the administrator option to allow insertion of HTML snippets (as described here). But the dialog box to change the settings does not include an "Allow HTML Snippet Insertion" checkbox.
Any advice? Is this to do with the version of Contribute I'm using? Or is there some other administrator setting I need to set first?

Hi ravster.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had read the Arch NFS HowTo and did as you suggested get rcpinfo for the server machine. The Libranet NFS server is configured rather different since the NFS daemons are built into the default kernel.
Since I needed to complete the transfer immediately, I gave up for now trying to set up NFS and used netcat (!) instead to transfer the files from the Libranet laptop to the Arch workstation. The laptop will be converted to Arch Linux soon so I think I'll be able to clear things up soon. I haven't had any problems setting up NFS with homogeneous (i.e., all Arch or all Libranet) computer combinations.
Thanks again.

Can you insert a HTML tag in mail?

Basically I want to replace a very long and messy hyperlink with one word (DIARY) as a signature on my emails. I believe this is called a HTML tag. Anybody have any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks

Hi
assuming you create a signature in Mail-Preferences-Signatures
then do so, using the single word (or more) -
select/highlight the part you want as a link & ctrl-click it, choosing Link - Add Link
( or use the Mail-Edit-Edit Link command, or the Command-K keyboard shortcut )
copy/paste the web address you want.
