Can HyperlinkListener detect the click on the anchor in JEditorPane?

[goodlily]

Hi:

I have a html document and I want to put it inside a JEditorPane to review. I only need to read so the JEditorPane has 'setEditable(false)'. There are many anchors (<a>) inside this html document which points to somewhere within the same html document. I would like 'the click on the anchor wil make JEditorPane to scroll to the place where the anchor points to.

Can I write a HyperlinkListener for this JEditorPane to make this work? Anybody share the source code?

Appreciate
Lily

Not sure, but I think this code might work. I think the frame hyperlink event is for internal link as oppose to loading a completely new page in the else condition.

public HyperlinkListener createHyperLinkListener() { 
 	return new HyperlinkListener() { 
 	    public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent e) { 
 		if (e.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED) { 
 		    if (e instanceof HTMLFrameHyperlinkEvent) { 
 			((HTMLDocument)html.getDocument()).processHTMLFrameHyperlinkEvent( 
 			    (HTMLFrameHyperlinkEvent)e); 
 		    } else { 
 			try { 
 			    html.setPage(e.getURL()); 
 			} catch (IOException ioe) { 
 			    System.out.println("IOE: " + ioe); 
 			} 
 		    } 
 		} 
 	    } 
 	}; 
     }

that is not working. I think the right code is

String ref = evt.getURL().getRef();
if (ref != null && ref.length() > 0)
{
System.out.println("reference to scroll to = " + ref);
scrollToReference(ref);
}

However, the 'evt.getURL' returns null. I am not sure what I am missing. Anybody knows? Please help.

Thanks,
