hi, I am using Swing for some gui. I have to open some html page for which i am using JLabel with the following html tag I was thinking that it'd open html file in browser when i click on label (without implementing any action listener). But it is not. Can somebody tell me what the wrong i am doing?

The difference between <b>failure</b> and <b>success</b> is often being <b>right</b> and being <b>exactly right</b>.

HTML support in most Swing components is provided simply to make text formatting easy. It will not duplicate the functionality of a web browser (i.e. clicking on an anchor tag taking you to another page). See here for the Java Tutorial chapter on HTML in Swing. You either need to implement a listener to handle the mouse click or use a component like EditorPane which can more fully parse and render HTML.
