This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
Hi, Background: I need to include an HTML pane inside my swing application that shall load different static html pages based on the button clicked. Problem : I read that as of now, Java supports only HTML 3.2 in its JTextPane and HTMLEditorKit. Question: Could any one suggest how to display html 4.0 page inside the swing application, possibly by launching the installed IE within a swing panel. Thanks!

I do not think you can run an explorer within a swing panel. You can initiate an explorer via Runtime.exec() method. Search the intermediate forum for examples.

My requirement is not simply to create a seperate process instance, which Runtime.exec() does. The requirement is to constrain IE window in a panel of my swing application. I am sure there would be some way to do this!
Your "requirement" suddenly changed from just rendering HTML 4.0 to embedding IE inside a Swing component?!?!?
:roll:
You can take a look at this page that provides code and a description of how HTMLEditorKit works and may give you some direction on how you may be able to modify it to support HTML 4.0.

Thanks Bartender!

Well if HTMLEditorKit did not support html 4.0 then I would rather have liked IE to be embedded in swing panel.[ Reading in perspective helps! ] I found out that infact there is already an RFE ( request for enhancment) submitted for this at java.sun.com Bug Id 4880230 Thanks anyway!
