Saving textpane wrapped in htmleditorkit to an html file

Question

Hey,
Do any of you people know what I am doing wrong with the following code? It will not take the typed text, convert it to html code, and save it as an html file. The file saves properly, but it is just blank w/ no text and such.
please help
          else if (mi == save)
               JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
             int result = chooser.showSaveDialog(this);
             if (result == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION)
                 return;
             else
                    try
                         File loadFile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
                         OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(loadFile);
                         htmlkit.write(out, htmldoc, 0, htmldoc.getLength());
                         out.close();
                    catch (Exception ex)
          }

Granted this is just a snippet of your code, but while you're talking about 'it' not taking the 'typed' text I had in my mind your keying in text in a JEditorPane or JTextPane. But it seems that you mean 'typed' into the file you're reading in.
Also, what is htmlkit ... I can't locate any such class in the 1.4.2 API ... am I missing it?
So, it sounds like you want to take a text file, read it in, then write it out as an html file. Am I right? In that case, if htmlkit is your own class, post the code for it.
I don't know if you'd want to try this, but it's any easy matter to write text to a JEditorPane or JTextPane with an attached EditorKet and write it out from there with code like this:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter( loadFile );
fw.write( jtp.getText(), 0, jtp.getText().length() ); // jtp is the JTextPane
fw.close();
