CS-4984: Web Browser Project

Grade Level: 100

Features of the Browser

• Upto 80

• Back
• Forward
• Stop
• Reload
• Print (This may not work because it is a known bug of HotJava HTML Component)

I have made two beans to implement above features one is MyButton and the other is MyLabel.
Here is the link to files that are needed:

• Jar file (Load this jar file into the beanbox before loading the brow.tmp file)
• Bean file(Unzip the file before loding to beanbox)
• Javadoc documentation for MyButton and MyLabel
 
• Upto 100
• Back - Go back to the previous page. Only one page not a stack of pages is implemented.
• Forward - Load the next page. Only one page is saved like the back feature.
• Home - Load the user home page set by the Set Home menu item.
• Home Set - Set the URL for homepage.
• New - Create a new browser window by cloning the Browser object.
• Open - Open a HTML file from the local machine.
• Save - Save the current HTML page in the local machine.
• Copy - Copy the selected portion into the system clipboard.
• About - Information about the author.
• Dump - Error occured during operation of the browser.

I have created a seperate standalone application using swing HTML component JEditorPane. To create the user interface I have used the Notepad demo provided by the swing package as a starting point. To run the application you need to read the README.txt file.
Here is the link to the files that are needed:

• Jar File
• Source Code
• Resource file for browser menues, toolbar, tooltips, etc. Put this file into the directory from where you want to run the browser.
• runnit.bat file - use to run the browser.
• Javadoc documentation for standalone browser application.

Platform used: JDK 1.1.5, swing-1.0.1, and JavaBeans under Windows NT
