how to append text of one JTextPane to another JTextPaneacross the network.
i am developing a chat software using client server architecture. i have a JTextPane on client end where the client types the message in multi colour,multi font and multi size formats. i can send the data to other clients but then i cannot send this formats in which the client wants to send the data. how should i achieve it. when i make the content type of the JTextPane then whatever client types it shows up properly but if i change the content type to text/html then what ever i try to type it just shows an <html> tag and doesn't show the text that the client types. i tried using the second content type with the idea of sending data to the server in html format so that when other clients JTextPane get it then it should display it that way. but it doesn't happen that way. ne suggestions?
