... And how do you propose someone help you, when you have not posted a clear question nor any code?

I don't know what your "getThePage()" method looks like. I'm assuming you're trying to listen for the ENTER key? Add a KeyListener to the text field. To set the page, look at the following method in the Java docs: JEditorPane.setPage(URL page)
