Greetings:
Before saving the text contents of a Cute Editor instance to database, I put a test for length in the dot-net vb code....

[CuteEditorID].Text.Length

...What I'm finding is that this returns a value wildly larger than the length of the text assigned to the database field, or the contents of the editor HTML window. As an example, with the CuteEditor HTML window displaying....

That's right, I'm a mouse!!!!!<img src="http://cutesoft.net/test/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/images/face6.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0"><br>

...[CuteEditorID].text.length returns a value of 758. Why is this?

Thanks.

I'm also not sure what MaxHTMLLength does...I set the limit in code, but still have not managed to trigger it...

Thanks...sorry, thought it was a physical limit within the box (like a textbox limit), missed the error message.
Where is that error message? I'd like to customize it just a bit.

Also, how about the other question above?

I removed the VB length check since I thought I'd just use MaxHTMLLength to check, so there actually isn't any VB code to look at. I'll give you everything I think might be relevant - tell me if there's anything else you want to see. As you can see from my SQL statement, there is more going on in the page than just saving the CuteEditor text.

-------------------

    CEEntry.MaxHTMLLength = 750

...sets the limit. This is in a subroutine triggered at page load...it sets a lot of other things, so I know that's working fine. If I remove that limit, the save routine passes with a SQL Server limit of 750 characters for field UserAutoSig....

         mySQL = "Update Users Set " & _
           "LastUpdate = convert(datetime,'" & Now().ToString & "'), " & _
           "UserFirstName = '" & Replace(TextBoxUserFirstName.Text,"'","''") & "', " & _
           "UserLastName = '" & Replace(TextBoxUserLastName.Text,"'","''") & "', " & _
           "UserEmail = '" & Replace(TextBoxUserEmail.Text,"'","''") & "', " & _
           "UserDisplayName = '" & Replace(TextBoxUserDisplayName.Text,"'","''") & "', " & _
           "UserAutoSig = '" & Replace(CEEntry.Text,"'","''") & "' " & _
           " Where UserID = " & mUserID.TOString

LabelNewError.Text="CuteEdit Length = " & CEEntry.Text.Length.ToString

...was what I was using to read out the length of the CuteEditor instance. Before I found it was misrepresenting it, I was using...

If CEEntry.Text.Length > 750 Then
   LabelNewError.Text="Your autosig is too long. Trim it and try again."
  Exit Sub
End If

My last test gave the max reached error with an HTML window of

This is a test!! I want to be a mouse!<br>

-------------------------------------------

I would really much prefer handling the error myself, since with limits set within Cute Editor, no other routine (including logging out of my site) will run without Cute Editor blocking it, if it perceives the limit has been passed. Even abandoning the edit by navigating away from the page gives the error, which  means the user has two dialog boxes to click past (the length error, plus a "you are attempting to navigate away..." to leave the page.

I'm using CuteEditor all over my site now, and with the exception of the media problem I mention in another thread, it's working great. But this has me hamstrung in new registration and profile editing...I'm tempted to just capture the SQL Server error and do it that way.

Do I need to submit this as a trouble ticket? I am a registered owner of CuteEditor...
