JTextPane: Problem adding hyperlinks & images

Question

Hi,
I have a problem and I just can't figure out how to solve it.
I need to implement a simple Editor for HTML files. Lucky for me, most of the functionality i need is already provided by swing, but i still need to add images and hyperlinks to my document. Especially, i need to be able to select some text, click on a button and turn it into a hyperlink. If an image is within the selected range, then the image should be included in the hyperlink as well (just as you would expect it to be).
Adding images works so far, using this code (i'll take care of actually loading the image when the rest works).
JEditorPane editor = getEditor( e );
HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) getStyledDocument( editor );
MutableAttributeSet attr = new SimpleAttributeSet();
attr.addAttribute( StyleConstants.NameAttribute, HTML.Tag.IMG );
attr.addAttribute( HTML.Attribute.SRC, "p.gif" );
try {
     doc.insertString( editor.getCaretPosition(), " ", attr );
} catch (BadLocationException e1) {
     e1.printStackTrace();
}But when i try to do the same with HTML.Tag.A and HTML.Attribute.HREF, the selected text disappears from the code (it is still visible in the JTextPane, though) and is replaced by . I just don't seem to get the whole AttributeSet mechanism or which attributes need to be set to which values.
I have seriously been stuck on this stuff for over one day now, and went through half a million tutorials, but can't figure it out - and i can't imagine that it is that complicated to do something like that.
By the way, I don't care whether or not you can click on the link in the JTextPane. The whole application is just for editing purposes and the document's content will be uploaded to a webserver at a later point.
I hope there's somebody who can help me out here.
Thanks in advance,
