cursor in jeditorpane

Thread view:

Clicking on a link in my JEditorPane causes a new page to be loaded
into the same pane with setText(). The problem is that the cursor
doesn't change; it's still the link cursor even when it's not over a
link in the new page. And if it is over a link, an entered hyperlink
event is only called when the mouse moves slightly.

Is there a (preferably easy) way to update the cursor properties when
the html page under it changes?

Any help is appreciated

Hi,

Just pasting a part of the javadoc for JEditorPane.setText(...) which could
be interesting :

"The assumption is that the previous content is relatively small, and that
the previous content doesn't have side effects. Both of those assumptions
can be violated and cause undesirable results. To avoid this, create a new
document, getEditorKit().createDefaultDocument(), and replace the existing
Document with the new one. You are then assured the previous Document won't
have any lingering state. "

Arnaud

Alas, that doesn't do it. Here's my code, where centerkit is the editor
kit for centerpane:
<pre>
    public void setText(String s) {
        centerpane.setDocument(centerkit.createDefaultDocument());
        centerpane.setText(s);
    }
</pre>
Can you think of anything else I could try?

Hi,

What is your "HyperlinkListener" ?
Haven't you tried the one provided in JEditorPane's javadoc ?

Also setPage(..) will "maybe" do better.

The Hyperlink-related code in HTMLEditorKit does not react to any
document-changes at all.

Send the JEditorPane a bogus mouseMoved event.
