I have searched for an answer to this question, that i am sure has already been posed, so apologies but I cannot find any mention.

I want to provide a link to WWRTE that will automatically open the html page I want to edit in the text area. I dont want to have open an instance of the editor, and then open the page to edit via the open file button.

Is there a way of passing this variable i.e "homepage.htm" straight the editor.

Thanks in advance

Chris Darlington

Something like this could work, i have something similar but just copied and
edited little quick for you to get an idea.
<%
Dim strFormName
Dim strTextAreaName
strFormName = "bForm"
strTextAreaName = "myTextarea"

%>



<textarea name="textarea" cols="75" rows="22" id="myTextarea">
    <%
    'Read a file and write it to textarea.
    Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(page to open), 1)
    response.write f.ReadAll
    f.Close

    Set f=Nothing
    Set fs=Nothing
    %>
</textarea>
