Hello Everyone

I'm using the JTidy library and having some issues outputting the content to a JTextArea. I can output it fine to the console fine using this command...

java

tidy.parse(inStream, System.out);


In this code the inStream is the input html stream from the web server and the System.out is how to display it. I have tried instead of system.out to put... TextArea.setText(); but i can't do that without a string. Any ideas?

Well if this is what you are using there is no parse method which takes a JTextArea. It appears it will only take output streams or Writers as the place to output.

The Jtidy library is a third party library designed to make html code "look good" on the screen. only thing is it is designed in a way that it allows you to select an output method. All I can think of is System.out but that won't work for a JTextArea.

Ah i see, that is highly unfortunate... can anyone think of a way around that? Any method to copy what's in the console window and put it in the GUI?

This may be useful:

A JTextAreaWriter class which implements the Writer interface to write directtly to a JTextArea.

I haven't gotten around to trying this class yet, it was just sitting in my bookmarks for a while, so I don't know if it works correctly or not.

Hello All
So i took a look at the JTextAreaWriter, and i'm not exactly sure how to implement it... do I use it as a library or just a class that I call?

It appears as if you create an instance of it by passing the JTextArea to write to, then when you do parse with the Tidy, just pass the JTextAreaWriter as the output.

Like I said, I do not know if this class works or not as I haven't tried it yet.
