When I Try To Use Html With `joptionpane`, Html Tags Are Printed Instead Of Html Formatting

Post a Comment
For some weird reason when I try to use HTML with JOptionPane, HTML tags are printed instead of HTML formatting. String msg = 'Please fix th

Solution 1:

The entire string needs to be enclosed within the HTML tags. For example:

button = new JButton("<html><b><u>T</u>wo</b><br>lines</html>");

For more information, see How to Use HTML in Swing Components.

Solution 2:

Also worth noting: it seems that having a newline in your string triggers JOptionPane to not render the string as HTML, whereas e.g. JLabeldoes allow newlines in the HTML.

Solution 3:

Enclose your entire string within html tags.

Solution 4:

The <HTML> and </HTML> tag specify that the input is in HTML. If you want to use HTML in Swing components, they have to either not be HTML, or be entirely in HTML. You can change the background of text by using the <FONT> tag, It might also be neater to enclose your text in <P> tags, but that's more a question of taste.

Try using 

String msg = "<HTML><BODY><P>Please fix <FONTstyle="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FFCCCC"> this</FONT></P></BODY></HTML>";
