I am making a web browser too. Use netbeans for the GUI and the refresh button would be along the lines of this (considering you put an action listener and the actionPerformed lines before it.) (Also put this code at the beginning of your code: private Stack urlStack = new Stack(); ) Then at the actionPerformed part of the reload button:
try{
urlStack.push(locationTextField.getText());
displayEditorPane.setPage(locationTextField.getTex t());
}
catch(Exception e){
JOptionPane error;
error = new JOptionPane("Oh darn, we couldn't reload your page! Try again!", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
JDialog error2 = error.createDialog("Oh no!");
error2.setVisible(true);
}

What this does is it takes the URL from the textfield (the URL box) and it puts it in again, thus reloading it. If it encounters an error, it will have a dialog box pop up and tell the

Did you really think that MarkWilson is still waiting for a solution, 4 years on?
