Difficulty in developing a Web Browser in Java?

[Ashish Rawat]

hi there,

I am developing a web browser in java. I am able to display simple HTML page but when it comes to Applet and JavaScript it is not working. I am using JEditorPane for browser window for displaying pages. The browser is unable to display Applet, JavaScript, Flash and advanced HTML tags.

Can anyone help me regarding this? Does anyone have an idea as to how to make a browser to understand various plug-ins regarding the above types?

The problem is that the JEditorPane component is not very advanced at the moment. I hit a similar problem before and gave up whilst looking for a third-party component to render HTML. I think you will have to try and better my search (probably not too difficult) or possibly even write your own component. Good luck!

We have also used JDIC in the past. Quite nifty but it basically embeds your default browser into your application.
