HTML Encoded to #s

Reply Quote

Hi,

Yesterday, I decided to upgrade my Editors from v2 to v5 (big step). After some small issues, everything finally works...(almost !)
My application uses a db to store and retreive the Editor's content. Whatever I type in the Editor is converted to ...#1#ed...It goes like this into the database, so when I retreive the data back from the db, it's unreadable - meaning the content is lost !

Is there a specific way for storing data ? I used to HTMLEncode it, is this still valid ?

Thanks for any help,

Julien

Julien,

When upgrading have you updated the CuteEditor.dll and all the CuteEditor client files?

Do you have problems with the samples included in the download package?

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your rapid response.

_ I have copied all files/folders from v5/bin and cuteSoft_Client

_ I use the licence coming with the demo (can I use my old licence file ?)

_ I have no problems using the demos (with a localhost virtual dir on IIS)

Code to render the Editor :

.aspx : <CE:Editor EnableFancyDropDownMenu="true" id="txtBasePage" runat="server" height="400" ></CE:Editor>

.vb :

Private Sub createEditor(ByRef ed as Editor)
  ed.ConfigurationPath = "~/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Configuration/vkbEditor.config"
  ed.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "~/styles/vkc.css"
  ed.EditorBodyStyle = "~/editor.aspx"
  ed.focus = True
  ed.AutoParseClasses = True
  ed.CodeViewTemplateItemList="Cut,Copy,Paste,Find,SelectAll " '<== Btw, this doesn't seem to work !
[etc...]
End Sub

Code to input text to the Editor :

'html is a ntext column in sqlServer 2K
   if not isdbnull(sqlReader("html")) then
     txtBasePage.text = server.htmlDecode(sqlReader("html"))
   end if

Code to retrieve text from the Editor :

Public Sub btnBasePageSave_Click(ByVal ....
Dim t as String = Server.HtmlEncode(txtBasePage.Text)

Thanks for any help !
Julien

Julien,

Can you change the following code:

Code to retrieve text from the Editor :

Public Sub btnBasePageSave_Click(ByVal ....
Dim t as String = Server.HtmlEncode(txtBasePage.Text)

No HtmlEncode here

Public Sub btnBasePageSave_Click(ByVal ....
Dim t as String = txtBasePage.Text

Adam,

No, that doesn't do the trick !

I'll start a new project from your demo files and add my stuff on top to see where the problem lies.

Thanks again,

Julien

Hi again,

Well I found my problem :

In my application, I save both the html code and the plain text. After reading some posts, in order to upgrade, I have used request("Editor1") to get the html and Editor1.PlainText to get the plain text.

Of course, this doesn't work out (for the data validity) because after a postback, I store the new html value and the old plaintext value. For some reason, when the Editor1.plaintext is different form the Editor1.text, then I get the ###. I have added postback management in my code and it's fixed. I don't want to try to understand better than that - thanks for your help on this issue.
