text editor

i need a simple text editor to make

bold underline and give some colour

http://www.fckeditor.net/

or

http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/

are the most popular. You can change the configuration to only allow the formatting options you want.

Text editor

I want to create a simple text editor for my site so that administrators can update website content without having to know html. So for example in the text box they hit the enter key and it automatically inserts the <p></p> tags, and of course more advanced functions.

Does anyone know a good tutorial or something that tells me how i can achieve this?

thanks.www.richtextbox.com
Hello,

maybe a "HTML viewing and editing" component which is developed by the "WebMatrix"-Team is very helpful for you. Even if this component is developed as a WinForms-Application in C# you can see the complete source for developing a text editor where you can input and format a free text and then convert it to HTML-source.

You can download the component here:HTML viewing and editing component

HTH,

Text Editor

Does anyone know of a rich text (WYSIWYG) editor to include in a web page for ASP.NET 2.0? I am using VS2005 and I am unable to get FreeTextBox to work. I need a different one, or if somebody know how to get FTB to work...I would greatly appreciate it!I thought that .net 2 could host 1.x apps/assemblies, in which case it should be able to correctly host FTB or any current 1.x control.
What sort of errors are you getting?

It says "Error Creating Control - Object reference not set to an instance of object". I followed all steps listed on the help. I also got it working fine in VS2003. Any ideas?

Text editor in ASP.Net

Does anyone know if there is an text editor available for ASP.Net which has the standard functions such as font, color, bold and so on? I remember I have seen such a thing and I think it was DHTMLDreamweaver, Webmatrix or just plain old Notepad.
No no not what I meant. I must make myself clear. I mean a free WYSIMYG editor tool such as this: http://www.telerik.com/r.a.d.editor/Default.aspx?Tab=Examples
Now I've found one. http://www.freetextbox.com/ .
Maybe anynone would recommend others?
I've seen this one in the past and been pretty impressed with it htmlArea (http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/)
It looks pretty similar to the one you posted mind.
That reaaly looks nice, and it is completely JS and DHTML. Have you tried to do something like what is shown in the examplehttp://www.interactivetools.com/products/articlemanager/? I will make a simple content management system with a tree view of the pages and with an overview of the content of each page with an oppertunity of saving the changes
i used htmlArea for a client's backend enabling them to change parts of their sites frontend and it worked really nice.
ok how do you store the information? To a database which include the content or? If you could sent a link to a demo it would be great
I don't want get involved in this, but there is a IE only way to use an iframe as an html editor. I talked about it in the forum about a month ago. n/m that htmArea is just like it.

Text editor?

How do you add a box with a text editor (including spell check) like the one in yahoo mail or the one I am writing this text in right now?I'd use FreeTextBox from http://www.freetextbox.com combined with this spell checker: http://www.dnzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=330
Another good specll checker, free: http://www.netjs.com/speller/

Text Editor vs Visual Studio

When we use vs.net to develop asp.net application, it has many auto-generated files and codes. However,
we can also use text editor to develop asp.net application and there are no auto-generated files or codes
(web.config..). I want to to know if there is any difference between these two methods. Which one is better?

"better" is a personal choice.
VS gives you integrated source control access
VS gives you intellisense.
VS gives you colorized code
VS gives you autoindentation/formatting
VS gives you debugging
Notepad doesn't.
That said, I still occasionally use a text editor for the html aspects, but never for the codebehind.
And in Visual Studio 2005 u also have Refactoring tools for C#.
For VB you can download an addin from Microsoft

I'd recommend anyone new to asp.net writes a small application in a basic text editor so you understand what all the auto-generated files are and how an application works. It's easy to get into a mindset of dragging controls onto a form and never really knowing what exactly this does behind the scenes..

However, for general use, I'd stick with Visual Studio, mainly for its integrated debugging features. If your web application is very graphically oriented, you might want to try something like Dreamweaver for the user interface.

I want to know the differences between a asp.net application that has auto-generated codes and the one that doesn't. And could you further explain the phrase "integrated source control access" ?

The difference is it has autogenerated code...

When you create a new site in VS it places some starting points into the code for you, the page_load events, etc.

Integrated Source Control is a misnomer.. it's more of a hook for the source control. If you are using VSS (or many other source control systems) you will be able to check-in/out files from VS instead of having to go to another app to do this.

The app with the autogenerated code is one you didn't have to work as hard to create. It's quite possibly also better coded, since you don't forget anything.

You sound like you want someone to say that a hand-coded app done with a simple text editor is better coded, more efficient or faster. That's most often not the case. But if you feel it's better for you, then by all means hand-code everything. The rest of the world will be ten times more productive, of course.

Jeff

I generally dont write codes that are supposed to be autogenerated by vs.net when i hand code my application in a texteditor. therefore, i want to know how that would affect my application (without autogenerated code) .

Might have to provide an example to explain this. All the autogenerated code does is fill in what you could have typed. Some parameters may be defaults yet the autogenerated code specifies them anyway, that's a good coding practice but doesn't affect the application.

Bottom line is, does your app work the way it was intended? Then it doesn't matter if you dictate your code to a chicken and it happens to peck out working code.

Cross browser or IE specific ?

IE has a special mode that allows to expose a built-in HTML editor. Don't
know about others...

Textarea-control

Hi,
A pretty good control for this sort of thing is the RAD Editor control
by Telerik - www.telerik.com/radeditor
" r.a.d.editor is the leading WYSIWYG rich-text editor for ASP.NET. The
product can replace any TextBox with an intuitive Word-like editor, which
enables even non-technical users to author and manage HTML content as easily
as writing a document. r.a.d.editor is shipped with VS.NET projects and a
DotNetNuke provider"
It supports a whole range of functionality - including copying and pasting
from MS Word, managing tables, full CSS skinning and much more. It certainly
allows you to put html into the control.
Hope this is of some help

First, posting images in a newsgroup is poor netiquette. However, I'll put
that down to inexperience with newsgroups.
However, second, you're expecting some ready-made control to be manufactured
somewhere that does whatever that dialog box from an executable does? I
thought -I- was optimistic!

The image was so everybody would understand what i was talking about.
And the executable you are talking about, is an existing website written in
asp.
And since I got replies with links to the control i'm looking for, i guess
you should be more optimistic.
