Problems with displaying CSS in a JEditorPane

Hi to all!

I have the following problem:
I want to import an external CSS-file but the defined color of the
styles are not displayed (always black is taken).

Does anyone can give me a hint, why this problem occurs?

As I read in the documentation, the attributes white-space and
text-indent are not rendered. Does anyone know a workaround, because
these attributes are also defined in the CSS-file I got?

Example:

JEditorPane pane = new JEditorPane();

try
{
pane.setPage(getClass().getResource("/myHtmlFile.htm"));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

StyleSheet ss = ((HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument()).getStyleSheet();
try
{
styles.importStyleSheet(getClass().getResource("/myCSSFile.css"));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

thx
Chris

Maybe the CSS syntax is wrong, maybe something else is wrong. Please
post a complete compilable example.

^^

It may not be a good idea to do it this way as setPage modifies the
Document asynchronously. I'd change this in the EditorKit.

^^^^^^

Is this your real code?
