Start html file from pane in javafx - javafx

Question

In my JavaFX implementation I use a pane, where I want to open a webview, when a button on the pane is clicked.
But however with this snippet it does not work:
WebView webView = new WebView();
WebEngine webEngine = webView.getEngine();
webEngine.load("http://google.com");
button.setOnAction((event) -> {
webEngine.load(url.toExternalForm());
});
I've got this to call fxml:
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("test.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.sizeToScene();
primaryStage.show();
Any hint? thx

You have to add your pane to the root and add your webview to the pane. Also, look at this button handler compared to yours.
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
WebView webview = new WebView();
WebEngine webengine = webview.getEngine();
btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
webengine.load("http://www.google.com");
}
});
VBox root = new VBox();
root.getChildren().addAll(btn, webview);//I don't see where you are doing this
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
