    How do I display a value (text) in the editor on page load? I'm a newbie...please help!

    Reply Quote
    Hello,
     
     I am new with asp.net and cute editor and I'm trying to create a simple content management system.  I am trying to display a value in the editor when the page loads.  This value will be pulled from a database and updated when the page/editor is submitted.
     
    I've used fckeditor with php and it looked like this: 
     
    $oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
                        $oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'fckeditor/' ;
                        $oFCKeditor->Value = $page_copy;
                        $oFCKeditor->Create() ;
     
    Where the $page_copy variable was the database value displayed when the editor loaded.  Is there some type of "value=..." with the cute editor for asp.net?  I'm sure this is pretty simple but I can't figure it out!  Thanks so much....I really appreciate your help!

    Brett,
     
    I think the above code is not ASP.NET. It's written in PHP.
     
    Here is a simple example showing you how to set CuteEditor Text.
     
    1. <%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>  
    2. <%@ Page language="c#"%>  
    3. <html>  
    4.     <head>  
    5.     </head>  
    6.     <body>  
    7.         <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">  
    8.             <CE:EDITOR id="Editor1" Autoconfigure="Simple" runat="server"></CE:EDITOR>  
    9.         </form>  
    10.     </body>  
    11. </html>  
    12.   
    13. <script runat="server">  
    14.     void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)   
    15.      {   
    16.         if (IsPostBack)    
    17.         {    
    18.         }    
    19.         else    
    20.         {      
    21.             Editor1.Text = "Set Text Here";   
    22.         }    
    23.        
    24.     }   
    25. </script>

    Adam,
     
    Thanks so much for your reply!  The code in my original question was in php, sorry I didn't phrase it better, I just wanted to show that as an example of what I was trying to duplicate in asp.net.  I tried your script and I keep getting this error:
     
    Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

    Compiler Error Message: BC30188: Declaration expected.
     
     
    And this line is highlighted:  
    void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)  
     

    Should I change this line? Other variables?     Also, does it have to be below the </html> tag?
    Sorry, I'm a real beginner!  Thanks again for your help :)

    Nope, that didn't work....thanks for the suggestion though!  I would think this would be very simple... I'm using the editor for a content management system so I need to display the xhtml from a db table.  I just need to know how to display something in the editor so I can switch in the xhtml content as a variable.  Isn' t this how the editor is commonly used?!  I'm confused, ha!  Thanks again for your help!
