Realtime Text Editor

[bataraguru]

Hi,
I want to make the textfield editable realtime.
For example in yahoo and hotmail.
When you highlight a text and click &quot;bold&quot;, at the begining of the text highlighted will be added <b> and at the end will be added </b>.
There are some WYSIWYG editor but all are rich text format.
Or can I change enter(new line) to <br>. Example, when user enter after a line in the textfield there will be a <br> added after the &quot;enter&quot;.
I hope my question will not confusing anybody.

Regards,

If you're in an IE-only environment, you can use the built-in rich edit component. See this page for more information:

Otherwise, there are a couple of java applets that can help you. See these pages:

Hi pcorreia,
Thanks for the links, for your information.
I just want to change the state in the TextField.
All of this RichText editing involves HTML and iFrame.
If you have any links that have information on converting an ASCii code (such as &quot;enter&quot; or &quot;space&quot to <br>.
For example I've type something in the TextField and press enter to make a new line, when I've submitted the data in the textfield and view it, there is no breakline, all of my text appear in one line only. To make it clear, what I mean is almost the same when you press &quot;Preview Post&quot; in this forum. If you press enter (in the textfield - input) the text will appear in the new line...

try using Replace() function:

form.textfield = Replace(form.textfield, Chr(10), &quot;<br>&quot;, &quot;all&quot

Or, try saving it as HTMLEditFormat(form.textfield) Sylvano
