Hi Tracy, thanks very much. Sorry for the delayed response, my server is in the shop. It seems Windows Server 2003SBS didn't like my PNY Quadro, so now I gotta split it up, have a web/email/database server and I guess I'm getting a power laptop for developing and photography (i.e., Flex and Photoshop)...
I'll be able to look into this (your reply to my post) further down the road. In the meantime, getting back to my core issue right now, of making a pretty seemingly-complex set of instructions work regarding the flow of my gallery (from db to generated xml file, read in various ways, into a tree for the galleries navigation, into thumbnails from there when a particular gallery ic clicked, and into an image from there when a thumb is clicked) - would you be interested in helping me start this from scratch using the proper methods you described earlier? I can explain in exact detail (I can build a Visio flowchart if it helps etc.) in an email if you are interested, and we could discuss compensating you. I really need to learn this stuff, and I think one-on-one tutoring by someone like yourself is really my only answer...and my entire desire here is to build a very cool gallery/blog for photographers...but as an artist, not a developer, I'm a bit out of my league...learning fast, but not quite fast enough LOL. I want to do it right. I want the project to be open-source and available to all when it's done (most of what I have learned in web design and photography has come from good people on the net...I'd like to give back with this project), but that only means you'd need to be willing to share your work with the world (assuming anyone actually wants this other than me when it's done! LOL). Please let me know if you're interested at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or sgibson (at) ida (dot) ca Shawn ps I say your polling thing with a datagrid on another site, it is very cool! --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Consider simply using escape() to encode the htmlText on the way into > the db and unescape() it before assigning it to the RTE. > > > > I haven't thought this all the way throug, now. > > > > Tracy
