 Topic: Including WW RTE from inside script
Posted: 18 October 2009 at 12:06pm |
I would like to use the WW RTE for a textarea that is generated from inside a server-side VB script. However, #include file is not allowed inside a script. If I #include RTE_editor_inc.asp outside the script, the menu is placed in the wrong position and it does not seem to work. Any suggestions - apart from refraining from using such scripts to generate forms?

You could try Server.Execute("RTE_editor_inc.asp") and see if that works instead.

Thanks very much indeed, that was very useful. This command puts the menu in the right position, without error messages.
The effect is limited: Some buttons open dialog boxes, but drop-down lists do not drop down, and I cannot achieve any formatting effects in the textarea box. Furthermore, the format of the tools is a bit off: buttons are taller that the toolbar on which they reside; hence four rows of buttons need five bars. If there are obvious reasons for this I would be glad to learn about them; if not, I will engage in some more debugging before returning to the group for some more advice.

You can use include files with a script block eg:-
<% If myVar = "xxx" Then
%><!--#include file="RTE_editor_inc.asp" --><%
End If
%> |
Although technically the include file is still outside of the script block the ASP code still decides if the include file is included or not.

<html>
<head></head>
<body onLoad="initialiseWebWizRTE();">
<form action="t.asp" method="post" name="myForm" id="myForm">
<%
strFormName = "myForm" strTextAreaName = "myTextarea" Server.Execute("RTE_editor_inc.asp")
' This works to load the toolbars but not to activate the formatting tools
' It works OK with #include but #include cannot be inside a <script></script> block
%>
<textarea cols="90" rows="33" name="myTextarea" id="myTextarea">
Pre-filled textarea contents goes here
</textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="Submit" value="Submit Form" />
<input type="reset" name="reset" id="reset" value="Reset Form" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Includes can be used inside script blocks as I have shown in the previous post, but instead of using the usual include code place it between and closing and opening script bloc:-
<form action="t.asp" method="post" name="myForm" id="myForm">
<%
strFormName = "myForm"
strTextAreaName = "myTextarea"
%><!--#include file="RTE_editor_inc.asp" --><%
'This allows you to use ASP to decide if an include is used or not within a page
%>
<textarea cols="90" rows="33" name="myTextarea" id="myTextarea">

Yes; it works to put it between these tags:
<% ... %> <!--#include ... > <% ... %>
but in my case, my subroutines are in a file that begins/ends with <script> ... </script> tags, and in this case I can't make it work with:
<script> ... </script> <!--#include ...> <script> ... </script>
nor with:
<script> ... %> <!--#include ...> <% ... </script>

Replace <script> and </script> with <% and %> or vise versa as they both mean the same thing. <% and %> is shorthand for <script> and </script>
