HTML Editor in Access 2007

[Jill]

Does anyone know of any such program as this, or a way it can be done? I
need to have an html editor, that I can paste text into, make any changes,
and when I submit, it goes into an Access 2007 memo field with the html tags
intact. On the desktop, not on the web.

Hi Jill,

if you open an HTML file with NotePad, the tags are intact -- then you
can copy and paste into an Access memo field. Not exactly what you are
looking for, but it will work. You can also type the tags into a memo
field yourself and they will stay

If you don't know the basics HTML tags, they are easy to learn. I like
this reference:

Some time ago, I wrote a prototype of an editor to insert (a very limited
subset of) HTML tags into text that would be copied and posted to a club's
website. My conclusion was that Access is not an appropriate software tool
for creating an editor, and that it would be better to use some other
editor, view the source, copy it and use that text. It was "clumsier" to
use my prototype app than to use the online text-only editor to enter the
information. Crystal's suggestion, if you know HTML, would be better. And,
there are quite a number of third-party HTML editors that allow viewing the
source, that might be even easier than Notepad, if you are happy with the
HTML they generate.

hello.

I'm looking something like this.

I need a text editor that save the web TAGS in the text.

Imagine, if I select a text and press a button it will insert the bold tags.

i.e.: Testing » <b>Testing</b>

is it possible?

Marco

The new "Rich Text" feature in Access 2007 is actually HTML so it already
does what you are describing. Though I believe it only supports a subset
of mostly obsolete HTML (like <b>).

Hi. Thnaks. Is it possible to use it in access 2003?

Not as far as I know.

 

[Marco]

ok, thanks.

Does it allow edting of the HTML so you could replace <b> with the
more correct <strong>?

 

[Marco]

How canI do that?

Who are you asking? I obviously don't know the answer, since I asked
if it could be done.

 

[Laurie Johnson]

can't you save the tags while your encrypting HTML Code separate files?
Encrypt an insert tag and save it, why bother with the application.

I just tested this. Normally to use "rich text" you have to set the
TextFormat property for both the field in the table and the TextBox on
the form/report to the rich text option. If you only set that in the
table but not on the control, then you see the HTML tags and can edit
them (in a form obviously).

You can even toggle the property on the form via code to switch between
viewing the raw HTML and the resulting formatted text.

Support appears to be a limited subset of an older HTML spec. Bold is
actually implemented with <strong> (<b> does work though), but you can't
use in-line CSS and you can't create tables. I assume that somewhere MS
has documented what HTML tags are actually supported.

If you enter an unsupported tag you don't see the tag in the formatted
output. It is just ignored.

Uh, my understand was that in A2K7, it's a new rich-text control
that transparently encodes formatted text in HTML. I was suggesting
altering the default HTML version of the formatted text to use
different encoding of the formatting.

I don't know why you refer to separate files, nor why you use the
term "encrypt" -- seems to me you mean to say "encode".
