Hi,

 

I am just trying out the CuteEditor and a newbee. I would like to know how can I pass the rich text entered in the cuteeditor on a web page as a querystring to another page. Can someone please guide me.

 

Appreciate your help.

 

TIA

Shyamal

Shyamal,

 

You can always get the content of editor in other page using the following code:

 

Request.Form["Editor1"]

 

Editor1 is the ID of your editor instance.

 

 

Hi Adam,

 

Thanks for your reply. But if I want to pass it from a parent window to a child window (modal window) and I want to pass it as a querystring, how can we do that.

 

Thanks again

Something like this?

 

 

 

Thanks again,

 

I want almost similar thing only difference being both are rich editor (parent and child). So from parent I want the exact html string to be passed on to child as a querystring, so that when i display on child or use it somewhere on the page I get the exact html text of the parent page control.

 

Thanks a lot for your time and help.

Shyamal,

 

It's not a good idea to append the content into URL query string. The data is transfered in the URL in this situation. The spec for URL length implementation varies by browser. On Windows: Opera supports ~4050 characters, IE 4.0+ supports exactly 2083 characters, Netscape 3 -> 4.78 support up to 8192 characters before causing errors on shut-down, and Netscape 6 supports ~2000 before causing errors on start-up. 
 

If you are hitting a limit on length, you should consider using POST instead of GET. POST does not have such low limits on the size of name/value pairs, because the data is sent in the header, not in the URL. The limit on POST size, by default, is 2 MB on IIS 4.0 and 128 KB on IIS 5.0. POST is also a little more secure than GET -- it's tougher (though not impossible) to tinker with the values of POSTed variables, than values sitting in the querystring.

 

If you still want to pass the data using query string, go ahead to append the data in the URL then get the data using the following syntax:

 

Request.QueryString

 

 

 

 

Hi Adam,

 

Thanks for the correct advice. I knew there is a limit on the URL length but it went out of my head. I am going to change my appraoch to POST from GET.

 

Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs and time.
