User Manual for use as JavaBean

The Sferyx JSyndrome HTMLEditor Component Edition has been released in three different versions Light, Professional and Enterprise. If you intend to use it as component within an application then you can consult the javadoc documentation supplied with the product - it can be inserted as visual java bean into the editing environments such as Forte for Java, NetBeans, JBuilder or similar. It is sufficient to add the jar file to the component palette of the IDE and the icon of the HTMLEditor should appear on the toolbar. The demo version is restricted and cannot be customized, it also takes automatically the default system look & feel. The retail versions instead feature different visual options for full customization of the user interface such as showing/hiding of the main menu, toolbars, popup menu, source editor, preview, status bar etc., also inserting and retrieving HTML content etc.

User Manual for use as an applet

If you intend to use this component as an applet you may want to review the other edition of this component - Sferyx JSyndrome HTMLEditor Applet Edition at http://www.sferyx.com/htmleditorapplet which is end user product and is a ready for use applet especially designed for use in websites or content management systems. However this user manual describes possible uses of the Component Edition as applet within web pages and possible integration with javascripts. The differences between the two versions could be found into the extended product documentation and in the features matrix above. All three Light, Professional and Enterprise versions can be used as components to be integrated in applications or applets. For major details how to use the different modes consult the Installation section.

Compatibility

The Sferyx JSyndrome HTMLEditor has been written and tested under JDK 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.5 / 1.6 / 1.7 / 1.8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16. It is recommended using these versions of the JDK or higher as it uses features not presented into the earlier versions of the JDK. It has been tested on various versions of Windows such as Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, Vista, 7,10, Linux with both the JRE 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.5 / 1.7 / 1.8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 and JDK 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.5 / 1.6 / 1.7 / 1.8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16, Solaris and MacOS X with JRE 1.3.1, 1.4.1 / 1.5 / 1.6 / 1.7 / 1.8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 /13 / 14 / 15 / 16 . It has been tested with Netscape, FireFox, Chrome, Opera, Konqueror, Safari, Mozilla and Internet Explorer.

Installation:

If you use it as a javabean, the installation is quite simple and is sufficient to add the HTMLEditor jar file (for example HTMLEditorPro.jar) to the classpath of your application and include few lines of code for instantiating the HTML editor instance like:

sferyx.administration.editors.HTMLEditor htmlEditor = new sferyx.administration.editors.HTMLEditor();
htmlEditor.setContent("Some html content"); //set some initial content
htmlEditor.setRemovedMenuItems("menuFile, menuEdit"); //remove some unwanted menu items
htmlEditor.setRemovedMenus("printFileMenuItem, openFileMenuItem ,newFileMenuItem "); // remove some menus
htmlEditor.setRemovedToolbarItems("openFileButton, printFileButton"); //remove some toolbar items

When used as an applet instead, the installation is also immediate. All the classes needed are contained within the HTMLEditor.jar and if the Java Plug-in 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6/1.7/1.8/9/10/11/12 is installed you will be able to see the applet opening the page which contains it. To include it within a page you have to include the following code inside the page.

To embed the component as applet in a page the class to be started is sferyx.administration.editors.HTMLEditorApplet

<applet code=sferyx.administration.editors.HTMLEditorApplet archive=HTMLEditorPro.jar width=800 height=600>
</applet>

In generally this code is sufficient to achieve the desired result, thought sometimes there could be problems with the browser using its embedded java environment instead of the Java Plug-in 1.4.x, 1.5.x. 1.6.x 1.7.x 1.8.x 9.x 10.x 11.x 12.x In this cases it would be necessary to use the following code which is also included into the demo and the example files:

For Internet Explorer:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" WIDTH = "800" HEIGHT = "600" NAME = "htmleditor" codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-win.cab#Version=1,4,0,0">
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = "sferyx.administration.editors.HTMLEditorApplet">
<PARAM NAME = ARCHIVE VALUE = "HTMLEditorAppletPro.jar">
<PARAM NAME = NAME VALUE = "htmleditor">
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4">
<PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="true">
<COMMENT>
</COMMENT>
</OBJECT>

The applet edition Sferyx JSyndrome HTML Editor Applet edition allows also running in full screen mode.

Consult the html source of the demo included for major details on the inclusion of the applet within web pages.

Applet Parameters

If you need applet parameters to configure your applet you should consider the Sferyx JSyndrome HTMLEditor Applet Edition. It has been especially designed for use as applet and supports wide range of parameters and functionalities which make easier integration within web pages and server side scripts.

Accessing the HTMLEditor from javascript

If you need wide range of javascript functions and easy integration within web pages and web services you should consider the Sferyx JSyndrome HTMLEditor Applet Edition.

The demo includes functional examples how to access the HTMLEditor content using javascript.

There are available the following functions:

public void setContent(String htmlContent) - sets the content of the HTMLEditor. The content could be an html document, portion of html document or plain text

public String getContent() - returns the content of the html editor as entire html document (includes tags <html>, and <body>).

public String getBodyContent() - returns the content of the html editor as a potion of html document (without tags <html>, and <body>). For use with content management systems is recommended using this function when editing single pieces of pages. If you have inserted portion of document using setContent method this will return what you need.

public void insertImage(String imageURL) -inserts an image inside the editor. For correct resolving of relative URLs if used as an applet you may cosider the Applet Edition of this product.

public void insertLink(String linkURL) -inserts a hyperlink over the selected text in the editor. For correct resolving of relative URLs if used as an applet you may cosider the Applet Edition of this product.

public void setDefaultCharset(String charsetMimeType) -set the default charset for converting the document content. This value will be used as default if charset statement is not specified in the page loaded. If there is a statement indicating the charset of the page such as "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">" this statement will be parsed and used instead of the default one. The charset is used when loading and saving documents.

public void openLocation(String location) - opens new document from the location specified. When used as an applet the document obviously should from the same server where the applet resides.

These are only the most used methods - you can access from javascript all the public methods of the class sferyx.amdinistration.HTMLEditor specified in the javadoc documentation supplied with the product.

About the browse and save buttons

Due to the security restrictions for the applets, when used as normal applet the browse and save buttons and menu items are disabled since are used to open, browse files on the local computer. For browsing remote locations are used "Open location" and "Save remote" menu items on the File menu. If the HTMLEditor is used as signed applet within an intranet or on an internet site and the user grants the requested permissions all the menu items become available and the HTMLEditor can be used for example as an unified editing solution within an organization installed on the LAN server and accessed from unlimited number of clients.
