WYSIWYG or Rich Text in a Text Area to database?

I have looked all over the web for different Wysiwyg areas and whatnot and have implemented at least 6 of em. None do what I want.

I want to be able to save the text area (of a form) and send it to a database (as HTML in memo field) instead of just plain text. Like using a rich text.

Kinda like the same way this is that I am typing in now. I don't think frontpage is capable alone of doing this but I'm not sure.

Either it has a WYSIWYG interface or it saves the HTML to the Access database. Either way I will be happy.

Thanks for the help!
 
www.interactivetools.com has a textarea that definitely will fill the text
area with html code. if you set it up to be saved that way I can't see any
problem. I have it in a couple of shopping cart deployments and also a
classified ad script.

If you can use PHP there's a super nice one I'm using in some software I'm
working on:

chris,

have you messed with htmlarea3? looks cool but the docs are a little sketchy...i have it half setup. I think it's the opensource version of the interactive tools.

I have actually tried that htmlArea but with no success. I cannot get the area to show up in a form! If I move the area outside of a form. It works perfectly and beautifully. BUT if I drag it inside a form, the area disapears and when you load the page, nothing shows up, not even a text box. Any suggestions on that?

I would try out the PHP you recommended but this is a windows server. I must use ASP.

Thanks a bunch!
 
sorry, im still struggling with getting it to work on my site.
chris leeds knows more about this than I, since he's worked with this and variations there of.

you could probably help me get htmlarea working :-) the docs on it kinda leave me hanging.- seems common with open source stuff

I think the new blog at www.8pixel.net is using v3. I haven't messed with
it other than to find it throwing a JavaScript error about "language" isn't
a valid object.

I'll help you. it's really easy as long as the text area has a name. ;-)

I think there's a really nice asp version in your soop portal too. you
should post the url to that editor.

you really shouldn't be dragging anything. you just make a form, set your
text area configure it etc. and follow the directions which consist of
putting a block of code in the head of the page and a little near the
textarea where you tell it the name of the element to replace (the name of
the text area) there isn't really anything in the "normal" view to do.

I should call you Sir Christian of Leeds...thanks for the offer - maybe in the next coupla days I have some time to mess with it.

The editor that soop uses is FCK, probably a bit of an overkill for my intended porpoise. FCK = http://www.fckeditor.net/
Though I think I'm gonna use the htmlarea3 one for my sisters web, I think that should be fine.

Wow, i thought this thread was dead. haha.

By dragging I meant just moving around the code. Now it doesn't work at all anyway. I can't figure it out. If it attempts to change the text area to the WYSIWG, then nothing will show up at all.

I have recently discovered that this WYSIWYG will not work anyway. It has to be able to work on a MAC IE. (Since they will be updating it from Macintoshes).

Are there any others out there that I should try?
 
If you can use php on the server the wysiwyg pro is pretty nice IMHO, also
take a look at the one that crash mentioned in his post. I took a quick
look at that one and it looked nice. seems like the guy developing it has
his heart in it.

now i'm confused.
wysiwigpro looks like it's php...but you're on asp right?
the sista's site is asp as well.

| which case it'll be the http://wysiwygpro.com/
|
| it's got file and image upload/management capabilities. ;-)
