Html editing: useful links & questions

[travisperkins]

Yesterday, I combed through all of the html editors (rich text editors deisgned to replace the 'Text Area' in Web-based Content Management Systems) on this site:

http://www.htmlarea.com/directory/We...SIWYG_Editors/

My motivation was that I would really love to extend the level of choice and options for the user of AM6 applications when inputing data. The AM6 native possibilities for collecting User Data are great, but it seems to consist, basically, of the user entering unformatted and non-spell checked text. So I concieved of the idea of using the web object and local html pages that the user could edit using a WYSIWYG editor.

But the problem is that all of them seem to only work with dynamic page formats, such as .asp and .php

The only way round this that I have found is to include the application on the following site with an AM6 application:

http://www.aspexplore.com

Basically, it is a sort of IIS/.asp server and a web browser wrapped into one, enabling the end user to run .asp pages without needing XP Professional and the IIS web server functionality on the target machine.

Hopefully, these two links are useful to people searching this Forum.

The question is: do I really need to go outside of AM6 to get this functionality? Or is there a way to integrate some editing functionality into the web object, that calls local web pages in the \\AutoPlay folder, lets the user edit them with at least some of the formatting capabilities of a WYSIWYG, and then see their changes refelcted?

If the answer is 'No': does anyone know of a WYSIWYG or HTML editor that will work inside of AM6 with just javascript and html, without needing dynamic formats such as .asp or .php, which obviiously, can not be displayed inside AM6 without an external app like the aspexplore server cited above?

There are various posts asking this question throughout the Forums, but it seems the questions have sometimes been confused with a request to be able to publish html to the web from inside AM6. I am not talking about that. I am referring simple to editing and displaying updated html pages inside the local web object.

I found the rich text editor solution in a post of worm's.
Here it is.

You need to look for Javascript editors that can run localy and don't need a server. The one you found from Worm is very good and works great.

These two also work well in AMS.

Well, I am obviously improving because I was just about to post a thread recomending those editors. I found them yesterday but have not yet got them working locally, but I will

Thanks
