You received 5 responses from two people. You may not consider those responses 'the answer', but each response was intended to bring you closer to an answer. Quote: ..what is the reason. There are various reasons why your original thread did not go as well as you might have hoped. It is difficult to ascertain your level of experience, and just how much help you require. The fact that you do not respond *directly* to comments and questions adds to that uncertainty. When people are not sure what you do not understand, and there is little evidence that you are listening closely to what you are being told*, it discourages them from answering. You are attempting a task that is not easy, with classes not well suited to it. The JEditorPane was devised as a 'light' entry point to HTML presentation. It is not well suited to displaying invalid HTML, and most of the HTML on the net is invalid. * A careful reading of your responses indicates you are taking in *some* of what I have told you, but I never got answers or comments on a number of matters. Your habit of trimming *everything* from earlier responses is making it difficult as well. Note how my reply to you includes things *you* said. By 'breaking into' the text and putting my comments after them, it gives the reader, (me, you or anyone else that may read this later) the information they need top understand what I say, but by trimming *everything* you force the reader to trawl back through earlier posts to discover what you are talking about. Quote: please reply me. Ughh.. and that is another reason. While politeness is encouraged on the groups, adding 'please' to a post makes you sound 'needy'. It makes you sound like someone who will be a lot of work to help. Also 'reply me'.. That sounds suspiciously like a command, and people on the groups give their time freely and do not tolerate being 'pushed around'. I feel that was not your intent in writing that sentence, but a better thing to put instead might have been. "Why did my thread not get answered?" Note that.. 1) it is a question, rather than a command/direction. 2) it asks a specific question, rather than pleading with the people who have thus far not answered you. I suggest you read this document for suggestions on how to get better answers, and not to sound so needy <http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> Now. I'll try and get this through in the end of this post. I am not at all confident that it is possible to make *any* sort of HTML editor using JEditorPane. It is simply not up to the job. Others may disagree, and I invite them to show me a source (or application) that proves me wrong. So in short manoj, I suspect you have undertaken a task that is not possible for an experienced GUI programmer (adapting a JEP to be an HTML editor), let alone a person such as yourself who is just getting used to Java programming. Personally I think you should set aside this project for a while and do a number of other simpler tasks, some involving JEP's, some not, some of applications with no GUI. Then you will be in a better position to judge if a JEP is up to the task you want to use it for. But while you are doing that, read this group. There are lots of other tips you can pick up on how to get better answers by warching the other conversations here. Ask yourself these things. Which ones get answered? In what way do those posts differ from yours (I am talking about the style of the question, the words used, rather the specific question asked)?
