[RESOLVED] Clickable link to get the browser in a JLable

Hi all,

I want to add a html link to a web page on a JLabel. I try something this.

Code:

        String htmtString = "<html><head></head><body><a href = \"http://www.google.com/\">Google</a></body></html>";
        
        jLabel1.setText(htmtString);

Actually it display the blue color link on the label. But I can't click and go the site. How can I do it.

Code:

import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class Util {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		JLabel lbl = new JLabel();
		lbl.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {

			@Override
			public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
				try {
					Runtime.getRuntime().exec("http://www.java.sun.com");
				} catch (IOException e1) {
					e1.printStackTrace();
				}
			}

		});
	}
}

Thanks for the replay.

Actually I got a runtime exception,

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "http://www.java.sun.com": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Do you have any idea why it is happened.

If you're using windows then the default browser should start and navigate to java.sun.com anyway.

I've attached a class called BrowserLauncher. This class is ready to use, it starts the default browser for Windows, Mac & Linux (Unless you're using FluxBox).

Thanks a lot pal. At the time I just write a code only working for Windows. Working with dlls. I'll look at your code and try to make it compatible with all OS such as Linux, Mac and so.

My code is compatible with all OSs

Yes pal, it is. What I say is, I want to look at my code with your one and check how about my attempt. Your code exactly same what I want
