RTE Integration + Textarea postback issues

Hello,

Just some issues I faced while trying out RTE for the a few days.

I planned to use RTE in dynamic pages created by a system so i placed RTE in a folder and then Included the required file. I wanted all the pages, located in different directories, to use the RTE without the need of having to place a copy of the RTE directory within each od those page's folders.

So, I came round the issue of Include Files and made the required changes for the editor to work. The problem now is with JavaScripts that either are included in a page or call functions such as the pop-ups for adding images, changing font etc. I think it would be a good idea to include a variable somewhere in the settings of the RTE to indicate the root path to the RTE folder. This way, RTE can be used as described above with the minimum requirement of just changing a few Include Files declarations.

For now, how can I edit the functions that call the pop-up windows in RTE? Since its all in different directories it cannot display any of those pages.

Second, I have noticed that when RTE is used and Javascript disabled the text submitted through the textarea is not filtered at all allowing the user to post preaty much anything. Is there a way to prevent this?

Regarding having RTE in one directory and be used by different pages in any other directory I have made some changes and now it works just fine. So, here it goes for anyone interested:

RTE_Setup.asp

In this file insert the following. Change as required to point to your RTE direstory

        Dim rd_RTE_RootDir
        rd_RTE_RootDir="/components/rte/"

RTE_editor_inc.asp

Replace src=""RTE_File Name.asp"" with src="""&rd_RTE_RootDir&"RTE_File Name.asp""  everywhere in this document.

RTE_javascript.asp

Same as above

----------

In the page where you want RTE to appear, use:
<!--#include virtual="/components/rte/RTE_editor_inc.asp" -->

Thats pretty mush it! As I wasn't documenting the changes I made at the time, I might have missed a page that also needs to be adited the same way as RTE_editor_inc.asp and RTE_javascript.asp, but i doubt it.

Further more. If you want your editor to save images and files in different directories depending on where it appears, do the following.

RTE_setup.asp

Comment out the following lines
'Const strFileUploadPath= "\rte\files"
'Const strImageUploadPath = "\rte\images"

Add
Dim rd_AliasVar
'Do some work here and specify a value for rd_AliasVar depending on your needs

Dim strFileUploadPath
strFileUploadPath= "\rte\"&rd_AliasVar&"\files

Dim strImageUploadPath
strImageUploadPath = "\rte\"&rd_AliasVar&"\images"

--------------------------------

Thanks for clarifying the issue for not filtering the text Borg, I though I was missing something.

I have tested it both with Firefox and IE. It seems that the images appear as they should. I dont know whether or not other browsers will cause issues with this.
