Well here goes...
 
I recently purchased the Classic ASP Cute Editor. This product works great and was easy to install, however I am having a major problem when the editor grabs text that is stored in the database.
 
Here is my situation.
 
----------------------------------
 
Step 1: User creates a new article in the editor and then saves the article. The article is then stored into the DB correctly.
 
Step 2: When a user wants to edit the article, the article is then pulled into the editor and this is where the issue happens. All of the curly brackets and what not are replaced with weird symbols. I believe there is an issue with the fact that our site is in UTF-8 and the data being pulled is in ISO-? (Microsoft default ISO).
 
 
----------------------------------
 
In order to troubleshoot I used the demo on your website. The difference between the demo on the Website and my editor is that when you paste text and say clean Word formatting, etc. The text still contains curly or smart quotes and symbols. Where as on the Demo on your site, when I paste, the smart symbols are replaced with basic symbols
 
If anyone could help me ASAP I am trying to launch a website and this is the only thing that is holding me back!
 
Sincerely,

Mathieu,

 

In the download package, you can find the following example:

http://cutesoft.net/asp/todatabase.asp

 

Please check it and compare it with your own code.

1. Do you have problems with this example too?

 

1. When I go back to that page my text is still there and looks fine.

 

2. The response.write of the data works great...it's only when I pull the text from database into the editor using the follwing line that the text contains symboles...

 

editor.Text = rsSelectedArticle("article_body")

 

3. Here is an example of the text stored in the DB..

 

 

here's what comes out of the database using response.write

 

NEW YEAR’S EVE FAMILY FUN DAY

 

1.

 

  <%
           response.write("NEW YEAR’S EVE FAMILY FUN DAY")
           Dim editor
           Set editor = New CuteEditor
           editor.ID = "Editor1"
           'This property provides access to the text within the editable area of the CuteEditor control
           editor.Text = "NEW YEAR’S EVE FAMILY FUN DAY"
           editor.Draw()
   %>
