    Posted: 19 May 2006 at 4:40am
Ok, so far, have had very limited issues with this RTE that I couldn't solve.
But this one kinda confuses me, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
 
I'm basically using an ASP form that works like the guestbook tutorial from this site. The data put into the initial RTE gets posted into an access database and is displayed on another page. There are 3 things, Add Entry, Delete Entry, and Modify Existing Entry. I would like to use the RTE in the "Modify Entry" page, but am having trouble figuring out how to post the entry data from the database into the RTE for modification.
 
As it was i just used the "value="<% = rsGuestbook("Comments") %>"" in the <textarea> field. But as we know by now, that won't work, cuz only the html from the entry will show.
 
Is this possible?
 
Thanks in advance!

The way you are doing using the textarea is down the right path, just implemented slightly wrong:-

<textarea><% = rsGuestbook("Comments") %></textarea>

Hmm, tried this out, and still just getting html inside the text area
 
 
<TEXTAREA NAME="comments" style="width:500; height:300"><% = rsGuestbook("Comments") %></TEXTAREA>
 
so you can view:

The problem is that your RTE area is not initialising and you are just getting a plain textarea.

Looking at the code it appears that for the HTML form area you do not have an id tag nor for the comments textarea eg. id="myFormName"

This maybe why your RTE area is not initialising.

Samantha,
 
I am struggling with using RTE to allow a user to post and update his page. Can you offer any assistance? I have a blank text area that I want the user (through a password protected page) to populate himself. RTE looks like the perfect medium to do this but I cannot get it to work. Is is possible to do without using a database?
 
Many thanks,
ourjets

Just use the ret to edit the same text file all of the time and on the page, use an include statement to pull the text file in to whereever you want to display it,

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Dpyer,
 
Very new to asp. Where does the include statement need to be? Can you offer further guidance in more detail?
 
 
Thanks.
