How do i get a webpage to open up in a frame?

Question

How do i get a webpage to open up in a frame?

(i'm using netbeans and java)

e.g in a html page you can use

  <FRAME src="http://www.google.com"&gt;

and it will display google in the frame.

i don't want it to open a browser, just to open up within the form.

thanks

Answer 1

Hope this helps

but if you just want something like FRAME in html, this will help you.

There is also a "Mozilla Widget for Java Swing" call MozSwing, but maybe it's not what you want :)

Answer 2

If you are using Swing then try using a JEditorPane

Answer 3

So you are asking for a webbrowser (.net) control equivalent in J2SE. As far as I know there is no equivalent for it in J2SE.

There only is JEditorPane which is very very weak.

Edit: There are some commercial components:

One of them is ICEbrowser

Answer 4

Here is a quick example of how to load google with the JEditorPane. I hope this is what you are looking for, but I'm still not 100% sure what exactly you want. If you could provide a bit more information about what you are doing I would be able to help you more.

import javax.swing.*;

public class GetWebPage {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        JEditorPane website = new JEditorPane("http://www.google.com/");
        website.setEditable(false);

        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Google");
        frame.add(new JScrollPane(website));
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.pack();
    }

}

The default JEditorPane is very poor. It can only render HTML 3.2. With JWebEngine you can display HTML 4. JWebEngine is pure Java and platform independent. The ICEbrowser is EOL.
