Hi,
My appologies if this is in the wrong thread.
My client needs to use a rich text editor to edit their messages on their bulletin board. I have used the standard IFrame based solution but it is not to their liking because:
1) Pressing ENTER does a new line
2) They want each user's comments within a post to be in their own font with a date/time stamp (EXACTLY like outlook does). This is important because they want each reply to a post to contain the original post's text.
I can't seem to get event handling working with the IFrame so I can't trap key-presses and modify them (e.g. trap an Enter and replace it with a Shift+Enter).
So... I have tried inbedding Word into the page, but that gives me endless security errors.
I have also tried using the Mailto: form to generate an email, but I can't get it to display the email before sending it, and I can't get it to generate the email as rich text. (My thinking here was I could generate the richtext email on the client, then once the user sends it, I can catch it on the mail server and suck-it back into the database... shows how desperate I am, eh?)
I've also tried doing this with CDO, but there are permission problems there as well.
Does anyone have any ideas
