JEditorPane and HTML submit button

[Jonathan Whitehead]

Hi all,
There are lots of messages in this archive about getting hyperlinks to work in a JEditorPane, which were very helpful to me thank you ) (***) (The answer is add a HyperlinkListener.)
But I have an HTML tag [input type=submit] in the JEditorPane inside a [form action="newpage.jsp"]. And clicking on the corresponding button does not seem to create a Hyperlink Event (perhaps this is logical, i don't know). And of course the newpage.jsp is not displayed.
Any clues on what I should do to handle the button click event?
Also the JEditorPane does not handle multiple groups of radio buttons (inside a form). You can only select one radio button in the entire form, even though they have different values for the "name" attribute in the [input] tag.
Maybe JEditorPane is just not designed to do this kind of stuff, and I need to really understand all about EditorKits and stuff, and do it myself. Are there any helpful tutorials about this?
Thanks in advance
Jonathan

I am attempting to do this same thing. I'll let you know if I find anything. I'd appreciate it if you would let me know if you find anything.

Found this at jGuru:
The JEditorPane is not a full blown implementation of HTML browser. It does not support an HTTP forms interface. However you can add components like JButton to the JEditorPane using the following method -

SimpleAttributeSet sas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setComponent(sas, new JButton("Hello"));
editorPane.getDocument().insertString(editorPane.getDocument().getLength(), "", sas);

Found how to do it. You need to set flag on HTMLEditorKit so instead of posting data to URL it will generate hyperlink event:

JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
textPane.setPage(URL);
textPane.setContentType("text/html");
textPane.setEditable(false);
((HTMLEditorKit)textPane.getEditorKitForContentType("text/html")).setAutoFormSubmission(false);
textPane.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkListener()
{
@Override
public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e)
{
// this method will be called when user hits submit button on the form
}
});
