hello,

I want to display underlined text in a Jtextfield and I found out that
in order to do that I need to use HTML so I tried that but found out
that JTextfield doesn't render the HTML. So I tried JEditorPane and
discovered I had to set the Type to "text/html". Well I'm sure that
would work for what I need to display, however when I try to grab text
out of that I get a bunch of html in addition to the text that is just
in the textfield (all I want is the text, and no html, when I grab the
text).

Is there a way to store html but only get plain text out of the
jeditorpane? Can I just keep setting the Type to "text" when I need to
grab text and put it back to "text/html" when I need to set the text or
is there a better way overall to handle this?

I'm using Java 1.5 (which seems to leave out the ability for a Font
object to have underlined text despite having italics and bold; how
stupid is that?).

thanks
Get the document out of the Editor pane with
StyledDocument doc = (StyledDocument) JEditorPane.getDocument();
And then call doc.getText(0,doc.getLength());

I think that'll work

thanks man. That worked great.

Interestingly enough, What was the code you were using? I WANT the html
to come out of it :P


I was just using the normal JEditorPane.getText() which is the same as with a JTextField.
