Building a WYSIWYG editor using iFrames

Hi,

I have just followed the following article which is based primarily around javascript:

http://www.devarticles.com/art/1/90/1

This is a great article and got me up and running quickly. I have adapted it to write the contents of the iFrame to a dB, however, I need to try and stop the iFrames value being populated onLoad as each time I load the page it writes an unknown value to the database.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

setting a variable that execute the query to the db only when it is set to some value?

Thanks I have now sorted the dB issue.

I do have another question on this.

When I insert text into the iFrame the space in between each line is very big, for example:

----------------
Line one

Line two
----------------

what I want is:

----------------
Line one
Line two
----------------

Even if I change the font type the space remains the same how can I adjust this?

Thanks in advance...

sounds like your using a physical word wrap in the textfield. Change / add the textfield attrib wrap="VIRTUAL"

This happens when using an iFrame in edit mode.

Simply hit Shift + Enter for a new line, or Enter for a new paragraph.
