Let me rephrase this a bit. We have a server side system based on PHP
and MySQL which we use when creating solutions for our clients. The
contents are edited through forms (and uploads) and inserted into the
database. The point is that for this proposal one of the requirements is
the above. Ie. they want some buttons on the page which will insert HTML
into the text areas where the contents are being edited.
The question then is if I can get the selected contents in such a box
and add strings to the front and end of that contents and write it back
to the same position. A normal cut and paste operation, I would guess.
I'm pretty sure that DynAPI can do this, but I've yet to try out the
API; I've just been lurking to see what happens with it.
