Switching documents in JEditorPane

Question

I have a program that creates an array of files and reads them one at a time to make an HTML document to display its contents. The problem I'm having is that I cannot change the contents of the document, I want the user to be able to sift through the array to view different info.

I have a different app where I use the button to refresh to contents of the HTML page after a search has been performed. I thought if I could pass a new file to it every time I could refresh the page with different content. Any and all help is apprecaited

Answer 1

You can use HTMLEditorKit for this purpose.
use method createDefaultDocument() to create blank document.
after that use method
read(Reader in,Document doc,int pos);
to read content of HTML file in the Document.
and when you create list of required document just change content of JEditorPane using setDocument(Document doc); method
