Error Help

[freesoft_2000]

Hi everyone,

I am doing a custom document in which i am always getting an error at the point when i want to use the java HTMLReader class. The compiler says something about an enclosing instance and i really have no idea what the compiler means.

Here is the code

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.basic.*;
import javax.swing.text.rtf.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.*;
import javax.swing.undo.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument.HTMLReader;

class CustomStyledDocument extends DefaultStyledDocument
{

public CustomStyledDocument(StyleContext styles) 
{
        super(styles);
}

public void test ()
{
      String html = "Test";
      int pop = 0;
      int push = 0;
      HTMLEditorKit.Parser parser = getParser();

//The below three lines is where the error occurs
HTMLDocument.HTMLReader reader = new HTMLDocument.HTMLReader 
                                                        (offset, pop - 1, push, null, false, 
                                                        true, wantsTrailingNewline);

      parser.parse(new StringReader(html), reader, true);
      reader.flush();
}

}

This is exactly what the compiler says

an enclosing instance that contains 
javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument.HTMLReader is required

I do not seem to know what the compiler means about my error on using the java HTMLReader class.

I hope someone can help me with this error

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

I'm not a Java GUI guy but I think it's complaining that both HTMLDocument and HTMLReader are interfaces and you don't have an object (hence the "enclosing instance") that implements them.

Just a WAG.

...but I've attatched the source for a very basic HTML 'editor' that
loads a html file and shows it in text and html mode. It may not be what
you are looking for though..
