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.

To start with DON'T use Drteamweaver to write code for you, it's awful
and 9 out of 10 times unless you are doing something basic it won't
work.
The iframe isn't seen as a form element. When the submit button in the
RTE is clicked the contents of the iframe is placed into a hidden form
element called 'message'
Place the following onto your forms submit button:-
OnClick="document.frmAddMessage.message.value = document.getElementById('message').contentWindow.document.bo dy.innerHTML;"
Now when the submit button is clicked the values of the iframe will be
placed into the hidden field called 'message' and can be read in from
the file you submit to like any other form element.
