public class DirectHtml
extends AbstractHtmlComponent

DirectHtml is a very lightweight component that will insert HTML text directly onto the client. The inserted text is contained within a parent <div> element. This component will not validate this HTML text.

This component differs from HtmlLabel in that this compoonent is designed to hold more complex HTML content while HtmlLabel is designed to hold simple (phrase) HTML content.

Note: Be careful of your use of id attributes in the HTML text as they may clash with Echo3 generated ones. Also note that this component does not support child components.

The following shows sample use of this component:

   import nextapp.echo.app.Column;
   import echopoint.DirectHtml;

     ...
     final Column column = new Column();
     final String text = "<p>First line.</p>" +
         "<p>Second <b>line</b></p>" +
         "<p><b><i>Third</i> line</b></p>";
     final DirectHtml html = new DirectHtml( text );
     html.setStyleName( "Default.DirectHtml" );
     html.setTarget( "_new" );
     column.add( html );
