Thanks for your input David.
Unfortunately, I'd already found that web page and tryed that
extension to the Ajax.InPlaceEditor. It fails miserably, returning
null whenever it encounters HTML tags in the text. !!!!
So, I did a lot of banging around before I posted to this group with
no success.
The odd thing is that after recieving your post, I revisited the
problem and rewrote the extension one more ( perhaps the 35th )
time ...
Object.extend(Ajax.InPlaceEditor.prototype, {
onLoadedExternalText: function(transport) {
Element.removeClassName(this.form,
this.options.loadingClassName);
this.editField.disabled = false;
this.editField.value = transport.responseText;
Field.scrollFreeActivate(this.editField);
}
});
Object.extend(Ajax.InPlaceEditor.prototype, {
getText: function() {
return this.element.innerHTML;}
});
and this version WORKED.
What's different?
I pulled the getText: function() straight out of controls.js,
pasted it in and removed the call to unescapeHTML().
Try it. You'll like it. I do.
Thanks for your response.
