We have a hybrid application where some of the code is Classic ASP and some is .Net. We need to be able to incorporate the HTMLEditor in both environments. How can we do this? Is there a KB article available for this?
Bozhidar,
That helps. I can now unload the form correctly however whenever I press a toolbar button it is being treated as a Submit of the form. I think I can work around that (I'll try tomorrow).
So, when is the upcoming release scheduled for? At the moment we have rolled back to some HTML editor code I wrote in JS around 10 years ago - not easy to maintain!
Rick.
Hi Rick,
In the upcoming release version of the HtmlEditor retrieving data through its API is really improved. Until then I can suggest you the following a work around.
function unload(source, target) {
$(target).val($(source + "_editor").contents().find("body").html());
}
With the id of the editor (#htmlEditorSample) and with the _editor suffix you can locate the html editor source iframe (#htmlEditorSample_editor) and retrieve the html from it.
Regards,
Bozhidar
Sorry - should have added that I have even tried to "unload" the values from the HTML Editor using javascript (and that's what the sample above does) but with no luck. We use TinyMCE as our current editor - hence the attempt at the unload.
Rado,
It simply doesn't work that way. I have a sample ASP page that does the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
a, abbr, acronym, address, applet, article, aside, audio, b, blockquote, big, body, center, canvas, caption, cite, code, command, datalist, dd, del, details, dfn, dl, div, dt, em, embed, fieldset, figcaption, figure, font, footer, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, header, hgroup, html, i, iframe, img, ins, kbd, keygen, label, legend, li, meter, nav, object, ol, output, p, pre, progress, q, s, samp, section, small, span, source, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody, tfoot, thead, th, tr, tdvideo, tt, u, ul, var {
background: transparent;
border: 0 none;
font-size: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
</style>

And when I post to the server all I see is:

So the data is NEVER being sent to the server.

Hello Rick,
If you wrap the control in form tag you should be able to take its value from the Request object on the server. The community forums are third party software that is shipped with its own component due to that reason we are not using our own components in.
Hope this helps,
