im trying to implement a Chat feature in my application. i have used 2 JEditorPane. one for holding chat history and the other for sending chat to the previous JEditorPane.
the JEditorPane is text/html type.
the problem i am having is when i put more than one space between characters it is automatically removed by the parser because it is HTML!
how can i make it so, that the spaces are not stripped?
example: hello world
becomes: hello world
also i am having to parse the html tags so the new messages can be added to the history window.
is there a better option than using JEditorPane? if i used JTextPane would it be easier to implement?
i would like the chat boxes/panes to be able to handle bold, URL embedding for now.
thank you and look forward to your guidance.
EDIT: im trying to replace " " with a relavent char.
newHome[1] = newHome[1].replace(" ", newChar)
what should be the newChar value?
EDIT: im trying:
newHome[1] = newHome[1].replaceAll(" ", " ");
but it is not producing the results. any ideas?
EDIT: @Thomas - thanks! for some reason i can post a note to your answer.
