Hi,
i do not quite understand why you want to use the JEditorPane for this? Do
you search return the results already in HTML format? If not, a JList or a
custom component would perhaps more suitable.

If your search returns HTML you have to add a HyperLinkListener to your
JEditorPAne.

i hope this helps a little bit.

Ok let me explain

I am creating a GUI/Swing application that will perform a search
The user types in keyword in Text field .

Now the results are suppose to be shown in a swing component.(
JtextArea i think is more suitable for this)
The results are not in HTML Format.
They are simple text files.

All i want to do is make these test files as hyperlink. So that when a
user clicks the link . it opens a new window.
It is kind of google search only that there is no html format here.
thanks

As far as I'm aware in order to have functioning hyperlinks, you have to
set them up using the standard html code and then use a
HyperlinkListener. Just add some code which marks up the returned string
into html.

You could mimick a hyperlink event by subclassing another component and
making it look similar to a hyperlink and using standard component event
listeners if you wanted as well.
