Introduction

Install the module and then you have a sample in the Samples | NetBeans Modules category of the New Project wizard. Finish the wizard and you have a module. Install the module and then you can hold down the Ctrl key while moving the mouse over the value of an HREF attribute, which then becomes a hyperlink. Click the hyperlink and the referenced anchor/document/url opens.

Usecases Implemented-

• When the referenced HTML file doesn't exist.
• Show hyperlink within same document.
• Points to the anchor location in the referenced document, if present.
• Opens external links, i.e., http links should goes to external browser.

Hey, goto the Files Window, to see the Physical View of this Project, you would see a resources folder, it contains a credit.html file, you can see the links provided in them for testing.
Please do check if it works on your Linux OS, Solaris OS, so that I can update the Target Platform sections. Thank you!
Note- To make this work in NetBeans 6.5 Beta and Daily Builds, refer this blog entry and make suitable changes in the code of sample project.
