Display HTML in a new window from pivot app.
My pivot application builds an html string that I would like to display on a
new window/tab. Whats the best way to accomplish this? (desktop.browse()?
is that supported on most operating systems? Will it open it in system
default browser?)
I would like to simply forward the html string to the new browser rather
than save the file and pass a url. Both for IE and Firefox.

Thanks
That's exactly what I did. createTempFile() and passed that URI into
Desktop.browse().

java.io.File#createTempFile() is your friend here.

You might be able to pass some JavaScript or HTML embedded in the URI to Desktop#browse(), but that doesn't seem like a great approach. Though it may be a bit more work, saving to file (or dynamically generating the HTML on a server) might be a better solution.
