.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / July 2005How to use: WYSIWYG?
Hello - I am trying to implement a basic WYSIWYG feature on my website so that i can edit in HTML format basic text on my website and have this text saved (with the HTML formatting) in my MS SQL database. Can anyone suggest a free WYSIWYG control, or a similar way to do this? Thanks! FreeTextBox > Hello - > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks! >FreeTextBox If you can get it to work. I wasted a load of time with this control and couldn't even get their supplied sample to work. The docs are almost non-existent and they never bothered answering my support call. I wouldn't bother with it if I were you. There are plenty of other controls around. I'm still trying to find a good one myself, but I'm sure there are plenty much better that FTB. >> Hello - >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >> Thanks!  SignatureAlan Silver (anything added below this line is nothing to do with me) You can either go to www.htmlarea.com and look at a selection of controls that will do what you want. Otherwise, if you want to create your own control you have to set a div or span tag to CONTENTEDITABLE="true" and then use some form of client-side code to pass the information from the <Div> or <Span> to a form input control such as <TextArea>,<Input type="hidden"> tag and manipulate the Text or value property associated with the input control. Hope this helps. Otherwise if you want to wait a day or two I can send you the control I am building without any cost.

The Lite version is free and does everything you are likely to need. The docs seem pretty good and I had it running with little effort. Recommended so far ;-) SignatureAlan Silver (anything added below this line is nothing to do with me) Alan, This control works great. Thanks. Quick question - using code behind, have you figured out how to get the actual value of the formatted text? I can only manage getting the actual string value (result) by doing a post-back to a separate page (as in the examples) and reading the post value (query string) ???
