Possible To Use Basic HTML TextArea For RichText Editing
Jul 9, 2010
Is it possible to use Basic HTML TextArea for RichText Editing?If not, what benefit we have out of using TextArea instead of TextBox?I DO NOT want any third party editors. Looking for some option available by default in ASP.NET or HTML.
I'm working with an MVC1.0 web app and I've found a bit of an odd anomaly.
I have a search box on the first page (normal text box) and the input from this is passed through to the ViewData and on to the second page.
On the second page, I render a TextArea with this search input text from the ViewData.
Eg:
[Code]....
The problem is, there is an extra line break in the TextArea, just above the original text.
Stranger still is that if I now submit this page and the view is reloaded (after validation fails) - the original string of text has been trimmed and has no line breaks, but the TextArea now has 2 line breaks above the original text.
This can be repeated - every time the page reloads it has another line break.
It's driving me insane - does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
FYI, you can check it out yourself - on your mobile phone, browse to [URL], punch something in the search box and hit search. You'll notice one line break added the first time the page loads. Then just hit "Find Best Offer" without entering a budget or selecting a category, and you'll see what I mean about the additional line breaks.
I was just editing some C# code between <% %> tags in an .ascx file, and I noticed that the Refactor contextual menu is unavailable. And even if I manually add items from this menu to a custom toolbar, they are disabled when viewing aspx/ascx files.
I usually only have small snippets of C# code in my aspx/ascx files, but it would still be nice to be able to perform refactoring operations on any code that exists between <% %> tags. I feel like I'm going back to the dark ages when I have to use find/replace to change the name of a variable.
Questions
Is there a way to enable Visual Studio's refactoring features while viewing aspx/ascx files in Visual Studio?
Are there any Visual Studio plug-ins (preferably free) that offer this kind of functionality?
I'm using MVC, and i'm building my own basic blogging engine. I need to be able to allow HTML input to be submitted to the server so it can be added to a database. I only want HTML input allowed in that textarea alone, but I still want my other validation like StringLength etc. How could I do this?
i have a master page and one content page. In content page i have a textarea for get value from user. i don't want to make it asp control using add runat = server. without adding runat server i want to get value of textarea in a string variable which is defined in code behind file of my page using c#
In short i want to get value of Html control in code behind file using c#
I have a form with several textarea elements. User enters data and submits the form. On the next page it shows submitted text as static text - in p tags. Obviously New Line and multiple paces get ignored and everything just shows in one line. I can do some preprocessing like replacing New line characters with "br/" and spaces with . but I was wondering if there is a standard solution to that either on server side (C#) or client side (javascript)
For some reason I can't get an ajax post action to work if the text inside an textarea contains HTML. In the text area I am entering <h1>test</h1>, when I do that, I can click on the Save button all day if I want, nothing happens. Not sure whats causing this, but it also appears to do it if I don't use the ajax form and just a standard html form.
Here is the code for the controller:
[Code]....
Here is the code for AjaxForm:

And here is how I am putting the control on the form:
Here's the situation. I have an aspx page that is designed to receive a POST request with some XML values, parse the XML, grab the relevant items, and write them to the page. The problem arises when I try to launch the page using the POST request. When I launch using Fiddler, building the request manually and just pasting the XML in the body of the request everything works fine and dandy. When I launch the page from a basic HTML form, however, things don't go so great. The HTML form that I'm using looks like this:
[Code]....
When the page loads I get the error:
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client Everything I've read so far has told me that the solution is to add ValidateRequest="false" to the page directive in the top of the .aspx file, or in the pages element of the web.config file. But neither of these work. Afterwards, I still get the same error. Any idea what I need to do to make this work?
inserting a .swf or flash files in visual basic asp.net give me coding sample or procedure or a link to inserting a flash files in my web form in vb asp.net
i need to create an online html editor to be used in my asp.net application with the basic button of dataformating + adding/inserting images+creating templates
I am trying to figure out what are the basic assemblies required to run a basic ASP.NET 4.0 website. Say.. a website with just a label in it. I looked online and didn't find a list there. I know installing the framework 4.0 will give me all the dlls but I just need the basic ones that will make a basic site work on ASP.NET 4.0.
I have a MasterPage.master and default.aspx content page From the contetn page I'd like to edit a style property of an Html tage that is in the MasterPage.
[Code]....
But error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I want to know: what are the basic differences between html server controls and web server control. As I have gone though lots of surfing but couldn't find the exact answer.
I have a WYSIWYG editor set up using ASP.NET MVC. When I post, everything is fine, however when I post and there is an error when the page comes back and shows the errors, the value in the textbox is messed up (it has become un-HTML Encoded) and for form validation reasons, this is fine. My question is this - how, in the controller (preferably), can I change the value of the text in the textarea? Even if I use a ViewData["fieldname"] and set the asp code to:
<%= Html.TextArea("fieldname", ViewData["fieldname"], new { id = "fieldthing", name = "fieldthing", cols = "80", rows = "10" })%>
It still doesn't work because that ViewData is the default value which, after the post, isn't returned to that value, it stays whatever was typed.
So any thoughts on how to edit this value? I tried passing in a new view, but that didn't work either.
I have an email page that consists of your typical master page/ content area setup. I have a master.css page for the masterpage and I'm linking in another css file for the content area on the page_load event. The page loads correctly but inside the textarea is the css code for everything after the textarea box. I've looked over the the source and can't find any unmatched css tags. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might cause this?
