RTE -> Access Q�s

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Greetings all.  After using the WWForums for a while and being
very happy with how easy they are to use, I decided to try and use the
RTE for some interactive areas on another site I'm designing.

The problem I'm having is that I want to insert the content of the RTE into an Access (2003) database.

I'm sure this has been covered here, but I've been beating my head
against this for hours and I didn't turn up what I needed by searching
the forums.

I'm designing with Dreamweaver MX and using the canned 'insert record'
routine.  In order to try to make my page work with RTE, I made
sure the name of my existing textarea was 'message' before I deleted it
and replaced it with the include file.

When I use the form and push the 'Submit' button (on MY form, not on
the RTE - there are other fields in the form that need to be send to
the database as well), it sends everything BUT the contents of the RTE.

I realize I'm probably suffering from acute cranio-rectal insertion
disorder at this point from having stared at this thing for too long,
but is there a good tutorial or something that I can peruse to try and
overcome this?  If someone needs me to I can post the vb code that
DW autogenerates to create the insert query and so forth...but
basically what it comes down to is that I'm not finding a textarea
called 'message' anywhere - just an iframe with the ID 'message' - and
the MM code doesn't appear to like treating an iframe as a form field.

Using RTE 2 beta 1, DW MX 2004, and Access 2003.  Thanks.
