Hi there,

Does anybody know how to add to a JTappedPane a tab with a web page in Java. How know how to get the content of a web page with the URL class but I dont actually know how to make a new JPanel with the web page.
Would be really glad for your help.

Thank you.

Add a JEditorPane to your JTabbedPlane. The JEditorPane supports HTML 3.2 and you can call setEditable(false) if you want it to be read only. More information is here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/...ditorPane.html. Be sure to follow the link on that page to the Java Tutorial (lots of good stuff in the tutorial).

You wouldn't use a JPanel. Most Java classes that can display text also interpret HTML, and allow the text to be marked-up.

I pieced this together, for you:

Code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;

public class ScrollableHTMLPane extends JScrollPane {

  private JTextPane textPane;
  private URL htmlPage;

  public ScrollableHTMLPane(String urlToDisplay) {

    try {

      this.textPane = new JTextPane();
      this.htmlPage = new URL(urlToDisplay);

      textPane.setPage(htmlPage);

    } catch (Exception e) {

      e.printStackTrace();

    }

  }

}
