I have a small (500kb) swing applet that displays very simple/limited set of small HTML page(s) inside it with JEditorPane, however this does not seem to work 100% fluently, some customers get a blank page displayed without any java exceptions. The page works OK from my machine. I need a more reliable way to show HTML page to all our users.

Any ideas if there is a small + free class to use instead of JEditorPane OR is there an easy fix to make it more reliable (non blank)

private JEditorPane m_editorPane = new JTextPane();       m_editorPane.setEditable( false);      m_editorPane.setBackground(new Color(239  ,255, 215));     m_editorPane.setBounds(30,42,520,478 );     m_editorPane.setDoubleBuffered(true);     m_editorPane.setBorder(null);      m_editorPane.registerEditorKitForContentType('text/html', 'com.xxxxx.SynchronousHTMLEditorKit');   m_editorPane.setPage(ResourceLoader.getURLforDataFile(param.trim()));

  1. AFAIK, JEditorPane is a very primitive HTML component: it is confused by CSS and knows nothing about JS.
    I doubt you will find a ‘small + free’ class doing better, HTML parsing and displaying isn’t a simple business, even less today.

    Perhaps it is better to let the big names in the business to take care of this task, ie. using Internet Explorer or Mozilla components (depending on what is available, etc.): JDIC: Embedding a Web browser in Java.
