Actually, I was thinking of a type of server-side include (SSI) called an html include.
Basically, you use the rte to maintain a file that contains content that you want to include in the html page. This leaves your headers, footers, and other content alone. The only thing the user can edit is what you allow them to edit.

There are two formats for an html include statement:
<!--#include virtual="/directory/included.html" -->
<!--#include file="included.html" -->
The first one points to a file path from the root of your web site. It's useful because you can use the same include statementt anywhere on your site.
The second points to a file relative to the file you are including it in. It's a little faster, but to use the file in pages located in different directories, you would have to change the path in the include statement for each directory it was called from.

HTML imcludes are useful for including pieces of content in certain places on a page. You wouldn't want to include a whole page within another page (Both pages would have html, header, and body tags. When displayed on one page, the html gets hosed and blows search engine minds.).

To include a whole page within another page, you would use an iframe. But that's another search-engine breaker.

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

dpyers,
 
I'm lost! At the moment I have two html pages:
 
The first page is the page where I want the "posted" information from RTE to be displayed.
 
The second is the page where a user accesses the RTE (via server side password protection) to put what ever he wants to put on the site.
 
Which file do I add #include file="mydisplaypage.html" to load up the RTE output? Or am I doing this completely wrong.
 
Cheers,
Ourjets

You'd put the include statement in the page you want the information displayed in.

The page with the rte needs to
1. Load mydisplaypage,html into the rte when the edit page loads.
2. Save mydisplaypage.html

Note: some hosts only allow pages with the extension .shtml to be used in inclyde statements.

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

Not having much luck.
 
This is what I get at my RTE page http://www.fightforce.co.uk/html/eventsrte.asp
 
The HTML is shown here .......... sorry I've listed it all. I've highlighted the bits I think are needed in red. Do I need an "action" in blue

Your form tag needs an id tag:-

<form name="events" id="events" action="" METHOD=POST>

Your textarea tag has the id property with the worng name, you have a space in Forms Muti-line1 also having a dash - is not good, chnage this to:-

<textarea id="FormsMultiLine1" name="FormsMultiLine1" rows=28 cols=68></textarea>

Also remove the wrap=physical, as this will course issue.

Help again!

I seem to be really struggling here. I have started again from scratch and taken your advice from the last post regarding form names ID tags etc.
 
However, I do not see the RTE editor - just white space ..... When I press submit the page seems to reload, but where is the editor? 
 
 
to see what I mean.
 
The page HTML is as follows:
 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>EventsRTE</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

You can't give the same ID's to different items on the page.

You have given both your form and the textarea the ID of 'RTE' this will not work as ID tags need to be unique for each individual item within an HTML document.

The submit tag also needs the name and ID of 'Submit'
