Hello all,
I'm in a team of open source developer for an HTML editing control to be
included in web pages to enable the posting of rich formatted text using
a visual approach (instead of typing HTML in a textarea)
The project is http://www.fredck.com/fckeditor/ and u can see a working
demo (works for the moment just on IE 5+ and windows) here
http://www.fredck.com/fckeditor/Demo/
What I'm writing here becase I've just developed (and will be released
in the next version of the editor, hopefully next weekend) a taglib to
include this control in a JSP page with a simple <FCK:editor
id="bodyNews" >Text of the news </FCK:editor> instead of writing all the
complex javascript code required to the make the html editor start.
But in the next version I want to go further, and have the editor get
it's initial value from the FormBean connected with the form and then
set it so that the following action can retrieve it inside the FormBean
passed by the page.
Basically the editor store the text to edit (and then to be sent in the
post method) in an hidden field, and one of the things that my taglib
does is also to write this hidden field with the "starting" value.
But I never extended an HTML taglib, and never found on the archive nor
other websites some info on how to do it.
Thank you for ur help.
Simone
