How to open html page?

[smartsubroto]

Hi Everybody,

As you can tell by the title, I am very new to Java.

I have a html page that I need to call from java.
i use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe"+" help.html") ; //help.html is the required html file which is stored in the same folder.

But when i execute this code, browser is not able to open this page

Please Suggest me a suitable code for opening of html page

Thanks in advance..

Did you get any exceptions on your code. Seems that your attempt is fine.

Any process is a Win32 application. As far as I know, we can't embedded such as process within a frame, I mean external component. Better to check in details, I don't have done it before.

This is your requirement, but I want to say is that in Java there is lots of alternative for such things. TextArea for Notepad and so. If you use Notepad application is specific to Windows.

Hi Eranga,

ya for notepad we can use TextArea instead.
but it wont serve my purpose..
but it is possible in VB so i thought it should be possible in Java too.
Lets see
i am working on this one..

hey Eranga,

we can use JEditorPane for this???

JEdiorPane is an extended component from JTextComponent. Basically we can use it to render plain, html or rtf text. If you say use of it as a TextAre(or as a notepad), yes you can.
