Hey Everyone!

I've got another humdinger!

Problem:

I have a web application that my clients have been using for a while. They came to me asking if we could make it so that they can put type in things like "Bolds, Colors, List items, etc.".

I know there are several ways to do this. They made mention that they liked the "yahoo" way of doing rich text work.

I was able to get my hands on a rich text web interface, but I wasn't quite sure how to get it to talk to FMP.

I'm not sure how they would like UBB Codes...

Has anyone had any success with this and FMP?

They can type in the html like <b></b>. You would have to use the [FMP-Field:myfield,raw] tag to display the data.

Not the full answer, however some Javascript or PHP can be used to enhance the capability.

Good Luck.

Hi, Addam! Hmm... I think Garry's idea is the best, but IMHO there's no good way I can think of. Even if you manage to do the <B> </B>, <I> </I>, or UBB code, etc., those tags will show up in your FileMaker data which will make it harder to work with outside the web. I couldn't think of a good way to uniquely tag/flag words for format (word count calc, fields w/values=various HTML tags [FMP-field:boldstart]words bolded[FMP-field:boldend], etc.) but maybe there's still a way... good luck! --ST
