ASPRunnerPro General questions

As a rule you would enter an editor in place of a form field within the HTML to allow more control over the content formatting for a field. Viewing the ASP pages ASPRunner creates, there are no form fields. This is different than how I create CMS dynamic forms. How would you implement the editor within an ASPRunner edit page?

I guess you cant use the editors...too bad. Interesting, this forum gas one.

Rick,
you can use latest ASPRunnerPro 3.1 beta for this purpose. Besides other improvments this beta features WYSIWYG RichTextEditor that allows you to edit large text fields visually. To use this feature set "Edit as" type to "Textarea", click

on "Change ..." and check off "Use RichText editor" checkbox.

When you cut and paste content from word, it carrys over all of the word styles and embeds them in the HTML. This is a problem when you have external CSS styles defined for the element on a web page. The internal word styles take precedence over the external styles. Currently you have to do a view source from the ASPRunner editor and remove all of the internal styles carried over.
This creates alot of work, and a we cannot expect clients to have the technical ability to do this.
Is there anyway to avoid the word styles when cutting and pasting content from word?
Thank you

Will there be a way to turn off the various formatting options within WYSIWIG editor?
Thank you

Interesting, I am needing the same thing but for some reason, I do not have that feature in my beta 3.1a install. I reinstalled it and still don't have the feature of a wysiwyg editor.
Admin, when you say type to "Textarea" is that the same as "Text area"? The only option I see in Text area format is cols, rows, default value & required field. Any ideas? Or am i doing something wrong?
Cheers

Chris,

Rick,
while editing database field using RichText Edtior you can check off View source checkbox before pasting text from MS Word. This will insert unformatted text with no styles defined.
This option also turns off formatting toolbar.
