    <p>I'm having trouble copying HTML from JEditorPane to system clipboard and then pasting into other applications:</p> <ul> <li>OpenOffice 3.2 - Says "Requested clipboard format isn't available"</li> <li>Thunderbird 3.13 - Does nothing on paste</li> <li>Firefox 3.6.9 - Accepts plain text but for example in GMail "Compose mail" does nothing on paste</li> </ul> <p>I'm running WinXP by the way. In other applications like text-editors, MS Outlook, MS Word etc. it works as expected, ie I get plain text with HTML tags stripped or formatted text according to which mimetype the application wants.</p> <p>Anyone has an idea what's wrong? Is it a problem in Swing or in OpenOffice/Mozilla?</p> <p>See test application below and try out. I've also tried with a custom <em>Transferable</em> but as soon as I provide a <em>DataFlavor</em> with mimetype="text/html" it stops to work in applications mentioned above.</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JComboBox; import javax.swing.JEditorPane; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.SwingUtilities; /** * Demonstrates problem with copy/paste between JEditorPane and OpenOffice/Thunderbird/Firefox. * * @author martin */ public class HtmlCopyDemo extends JFrame { public HtmlCopyDemo() { setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setLayout(new BorderLayout()); setSize(400, 400); final JEditorPane editor = new JEditorPane(); editor.setContentType("text/html"); editor.setText("&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;Here's some &lt;b&gt;formatted&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;text&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;"); add(editor, BorderLayout.CENTER); JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout()); add(panel, BorderLayout.NORTH); JButton button = new JButton("Copy"); panel.add(button); button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { editor.selectAll(); editor.copy(); } }); final JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(new Object[]{"text/html", "text/plain"}); panel.add(combo); combo.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { String text = editor.getText(); editor.setContentType((String) combo.getSelectedItem()); editor.setText(text); } }); } public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { new HtmlCopyDemo().setVisible(true); } }); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
