ASP.NET WYSIWYG Editor...


Question

Good Day...

I'm in the middle of creating a CMS and for ease of use and addition of extended flexibility I've decided to give the option to allow editing of the content via a WYSIWYG editor.

Because I can use it freely until I finish the CMS (at which point it may be distributed for monies in which I'll need a distrobution license) I had decided to use John Dyers FreeTextBox (http://www.freetextbox.com). Not only is it free for personal use, but it includes a really sharp ImageGallery control and is faster than some of the others out there as well. Also worth mentioning, it's a fully encapsulated solution now... you don't need to copy IMAGES and JS files... only the DLL and everything is stored within it. That makes rollout NICE...

Anyway, I'm having some problems with it... using IE, goto http://joshandbrandi.com/post.aspx?PostID=1. The FTB control is at the bottom of the page. Within it "undefined" is displayed. Not only that, but if I change that and try to add anything it doesn't post correctly. I cannot figure out what's causing this.

The funny thing is that using FireFox the error DOES NOT show up and the control works fine!!! Does anybody have any ideas on this?

Nice try on the IE7 thing... I forgot I even had that in there. However, even after removing it, I'm still getting this wierd problem.

And since I'm not being shy... here's the page code... nice and simple you'll see...

<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" ValidateRequest="False" Src="_global.vb" Inherits="Global" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="FTB" Namespace="FreeTextBoxControls" Assembly="FreeTextBox" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SQLClient" %>
<script runat="server">

	Sub Page_Load()
  If NOT(Page.IsPostBack) Then
  	LoadPost()
  	LoadReplies()
  End If
	End Sub

	Sub LoadPost()
  dim strSQL as string = "SELECT PostID, Author, [Date], Header, Post FROM Post WHERE Approve=1 AND PostID=" & Request.QueryString("PostID")
  rptPost.Datasource = GetData(strSQL)
  rptPost.Databind()
	End Sub

	Sub LoadReplies()
  dim strSQL as string = "SELECT ReplyID, Author, [Date], Post FROM Reply WHERE PostID=" & Request.QueryString("PostID") & " ORDER BY [Date] ASC"
  rptReply.Datasource = GetData(strSQL)
  rptReply.Databind()
	End Sub

	Function CountReplies(ByVal PostID As String) As String
  dim strSQL as string = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS Replies FROM Reply WHERE PostID=" & PostID
  return GetScalar(strSQL)
	End Function

	Sub PostReply(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
  dim strSQL as string = "INSERT INTO Reply (PostID, [Date], Author, Post) VALUES (@PostID, @Date, @Author, @Post)"
  dim C as New SQLCommand(strSQL, Conn)
  With C.Parameters
  	.Add(New SQLParameter("@PostID",Request.QueryString("PostID")))
  	.Add(New SQLParameter("@Date",Now()))
  	.Add(New SQLParameter("@Author",Author.Text))
  	.Add(New SQLParameter("@Post",Reply.Text))
  End With
  PostData(C)
  LoadPost()
  LoadReplies()
	End Sub

</script>

<!--#include file="_header.inc" -->

<h1>Post And Replies</h1>

<asp:Repeater ID="rptPost" runat="server">
	<itemtemplate>
  <h2><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Header") %></h2>
  <span class="postinfo">by: <span class="postinfoaugment"><%# FormatEmail(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Author")) %></span> on 
  <span class="postinfoaugment"><%# AdjustTime(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Date")) %></span></span>

<p> </p>

<h3>Replies...</h3>
<asp:Repeater ID="rptReply" runat="server">

  &lt;a href="work.aspx?Type=Reply&Action=Delete&ID=<;%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ReplyID") %&gt;" onclick="return smallWin(this.href);">&lt;img class="noborder" src="images/delete.gif" alt="Request Deletion" /&gt;
  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Post") %&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/itemtemplate&gt;
&lt;/asp:Repeater&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a name="reply" id="reply"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;form runat="server"&gt;
	&lt;div id="replybox"&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Your Email Address: &lt;asp:TextBox ID="Author" runat="server" MaxLength="128" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Your Reply:&lt;br /&gt;
  	&lt;FTB:FreeTextBox id="Reply" runat="server"
    ToolbarStyleConfiguration="Office2003"
    ToolbarLayout="bold,italic,underline,JustifyLeft,JustifyRight,JustifyFull,JustifyCenter,FontForeColorPicker,FontSizesMenu|cut,copy,paste,delete|bulletedlist,numberedlist|createlink,Unlink,InsertImageFromGallery,IeSpellCheck"

  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;asp:Button ID="btnPostReply" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="PostReply" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

Nothing stands out but

 ToolbarLayout=&amp; #34;bold,italic,underline,JustifyLeft,JustifyRight,JustifyFull,JustifyCenter,FontForeColorPicker,FontSizesMenu|cut,copy,paste,delete|bulletedlist,numberedlist|createlink,Unlink,InsertImageFromGallery,IeSpellCheck"

Looks like your using & #34; instead of " in the ToolbarLayout setting.

Also do you have the freetextbox jscripts ( i think there are 5 of them) in \aspnet_client\FreeTextBox directory?

Neowin converted those to ASCII equivs... they're not like that in the code itself.

No, I don't have the scripts. This is version 3.0.3 and is fully self contained. Very nice actually. But do you see how it works in FF but not IE? This is freaking me out and I'm not getting ANYWHERE on the FTB forums... they're kinda dead at the moment.

Try just putting the control in, no settings and see what happens. Like

&lt;FTB:FreeTextBox id="Reply" runat="server"/&gt;

If it works, slowly add each setting and see when the problem comes up.

It still does it. I'm not sure exactly what happened... it worked at first, and then after adding the toolbaritems and other properties (I did all at once) it started messing up like that... but only in IE.

Am I the only one having this problem or does anybody else experience this too?
