Description cizekk1 2008-04-20 23:45:13 UTC 
unable to click hyperlinks in 'javadoc index search'
Comment 1 Jaromir Uhrik 2008-05-09 11:18:27 UTC 
I just want to clarify that hyperlinks can be clicked on but they cannot be accessed by keyboard.
Comment 2 Jan Pokorsky 2008-05-13 16:15:10 UTC 
It relates to HtmlBrowser/SwingBrowser component that is used by the javadoc module to display javadoc content inside
NB. AFAIK there are no such default actions provided in HTMLEditorKit to traverse links in the document. Reassiging to
openide/AWT.
Comment 3 Stanislav Aubrecht 2008-06-18 17:13:01 UTC 
you mean links in the actual html text, right? not the list of search results
Comment 4 Jan Pokorsky 2008-06-18 17:28:03 UTC 
Right, the search result list contains no hyperlinks.
Comment 5 Stanislav Aubrecht 2008-06-19 12:44:06 UTC 
there's no direct support in swing for keyboard traversal of html links - closing

(the workaround is opening the search result in external browser)
