Hi folks, I am rendering html doc in textpane. i had set textpane.setEditorkit(new HTMLEditokit()), so html doc is rendered in textpane.i am having a tool bar wiith bold italic buttons ...while i make changes by selecting a portion of the text it gets reflected in ui, when made a call like textpane.getText(), i am able to get html form o/p..This is working fine.. But initially when i do textpane.setText("html doc with bold ,italic tags" ) this gets reflected in ui, when i tried to remove bold, italic using tool bar it gets reflected in ui, when made a call textpane.getText() the old tags is remained and it is not reflecting the changes i had done.. Can u give me some suggestions what has to be done, so any point of time what ever i see in UI i should be able to get the html o/p. Thanks for ur time.. Regards, selva
