Insert asp code in editor 4 for asp
How can i insert asp code in the editor without the editor converting the < tag to this code < ?
I can see that in this editor that is related to the forum you can set the <% without the conversion.

Re: Insert asp code in editor 4 for asp
I had the same issue and ended up writing an ASP function that "prepares" content for the editor (prepends and appends the comment tags to asp script tags) and then "fixes" content before posting back to the database (strips the comment tags).
Seems to work pretty well. However, you'll have to instruct anyone using the control that when adding NEW ASP code, they've got to input <!--<% to start the block, and %>--> to end the block, or the behavior you note will occur.
Adam, in a post below, notes that the behavior is specific to gecko based browsers - it doesn't appear if you're using IE. That's probably due to xml rendering engine differences. It only makes sense that IE (microsoft) would treat the <% %> tag set as CDATA. However, the <% %> tag set, being a Microsoft IIS only thing, is treated as normal input by the gecko based browsers.
Anyway... here's the function... hopefully it makes it through the post intact.
Function fixASPScriptTags(str,obj)
'str = the string to process
'obj = the object to process for: db=database;edit=editor
fixASPScriptTags = str
'if there's not an opening script tag (<%) in the string return the str as is and get out of here
If InStr(fixASPScriptTags,"<" & Chr(37)) = 0 Then Exit Function
'otherwise process the thing.
Dim percentTag : percentTag = Chr(37)
Dim dbStartScript : dbStartScript = "<" & percentTag
Dim dbStopScript : dbStopScript = percentTag & ">"
Dim editStartScript : editStartScript = "<!--<" & percentTag
Dim editStopScript : editStopScript = percentTag & ">-->"
Dim editStartScript2 : editStartScript2 = "<!--" & vbCRLF & "<" & percentTag
Dim editStopScript2 : editStopScript2 = percentTag & ">" & vbCRLF & "-->"
Select Case LCase(obj)
Case "db"
fixASPScriptTags = Replace(fixASPScriptTags,editStartScript,dbStartScript)
fixASPScriptTags = Replace(fixASPScriptTags,editStopScript,dbStopScript)
fixASPScriptTags = Replace(fixASPScriptTags,editStartScript2,dbStartScript)
fixASPScriptTags = Replace(fixASPScriptTags,editStopScript2,dbStopScript)
Case "edit"
fixASPScriptTags = Replace(fixASPScriptTags,dbStartScript,editStartScript)
fixASPScriptTags = Replace(fixASPScriptTags,dbStopScript,editStopScript)
End Select
End Function

Re: Insert asp code in editor 4 for asp
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but it is still not working.
When I go (in Firefox 1.0.7) to your example link above, and enter
<%= sShow %> in the code view, it looks correct in the code view,
and disappears when I switch to html mode. Switch back to code view,
and it still looks correct. So far, all is well.
Switch to Preview mode, however, and you get the behavior I am getting
on every output, whether Preview mode is used (or even enabled):
The tag is converted to entities.
This doesn't happen with IE.
lkelly's posted hack function will work, but needs an additional bit to
take care of comment tags WITHIN an asp tag, which would of course
break it. I'll try to post that later today, but it would be nice
not to have to need it.
Using the newest build of the ASP editor (5.0).
Thanks for such an excellent editor.

Re: Insert asp code in editor 4 for asp
Some further information:
lkelly's approach, while sensible, is causing some funny behavior
inside the class. Merely the existence of asp tags, even inside
comments, appears to cause a large number of line breaks to be inserted
into the output. These are just physical CrLfs, not <br>
tags, but it still makes the resultant html very messy.
My add-on was to do a search inside each tag to disable the comment
marks inside ASP tags, but with the above behavior, it would not be
feasible. The editor pokes so many line breaks into the output
that any attempt to reassemble would be unreliable at best.
For now, I've written a search on <% in the content, and locked out
any browser other than IE if the content contains one. That won't
work very long, because I have a large client who wants to use Firefox
for the editing. By doing some tricky manipulating of content
blocks, I can code around most areas where ASP tags are used, but not
all -- and it is highly labor-intensive to do so.
If I may make a suggestion, it seems the correct behavior would be:
if in normal view, show a placeholder tag, such as
<% CODE HERE %> with highlighting as Read Only, and skip without
displaying from <% to %> while preserving literal content
untouched.
if in html view (and code editing enabled,) display asp tag (<% to %>) untouched, but allow editing.
if in html view (and code editing NOT enabled,)
display a placeholder tag, such as <% CODE CANNOT BE EDITED %> as
Read Only.
if in Preview mode, show a placeholder tag, such as <% CODE HERE %> with highlighting.
I haven't looked inside the class to see what you are using to control
the content flow, but there is (hopefully) a way to mark a a string to
be preserved exactly within the manipulations for various displays and
output.
Thanks again for your product.
