ASPRunnerPro General questions
D dheydt author Sergey, Thanks so much for your help on my previous question. I really appreciate it. I would like to use the new Rich Text Editor feature of ASPRunner but I have a few questions. What I would like to do is allow my users to enter rich text into a remarks field. My code would later send these remarks in an e-mail to our vendors. What kind of field should I use (in SQL Server). Is it a straight text (varchar) field or does it need to be some kind of binary field? Also, is there a way to show this field in the list page as a link (such as "View Remarks...") that will open a new window to display the rich text? Perhaps there is a thread on the forum that describes the steps to using the Rich Text Editor? Thanks again, Dan <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=990&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

	Dan, you can use either VARCHAR or TEXT field type for this purpose. Rich Text Editor allows to edit HTML visual way. From database point of view this is just a text. You can use More ... functionality to display the whole field content in popup window. Currently More ... window cannot display more than 900 characters which is a Javascript limitation. I'll fix this in the following version.
