Re: TextArea MS Word
Quoting Randell B Adkins [EMAIL PROTECTED]: But if Pasted from MS Word, it transforms the apostrophe into a little square box. A little square box usually means a charset problem. If you have a Word document that gives you this problem, put it up somewhere and I will test it in a unicode setup. Jochem __ Your ad could be here.

Re: TextArea MS Word
- Original Message - From: Randell B Adkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] With the TEXTAREA if I manually type the apostrophes, commas, and quotes, then it is retained when saving to the database. But if Pasted from MS Word, it transforms the apostrophe into a little square box. I guess it's cos of the 'smart quotes' in Word, i.e. quotes and apostrophes that look like traditional print quotes and apostrophes - a tiny ball with a curved tail - instead of the monotype-type things with just tiny vertical lines. The latter are part of the standard ASCII character set, the former aren't - I think. This may not be the correct technical explanation, but it's a good ball park for understanding why you get the little boxes when pasting in from Word. Here's some options: - Find the correct character codes for the 'smart quotes' and replace them with the correct escape codes - or plain ASCII quotes - when processing the form server-side. - Try updating the textarea contents client-side with JavaScript along similar lines (not tried this before, but I assume it's feasible). You'd either run the JS from an onchange event handler on the textarea, or have a 'Tidy' button to trigger it in the form. - Go with a WYSIWYG solution like soEdit.

RE: TextArea MS Word
We have tried lots of fonts etc for the same problem (we use activepdf) We have found the only solution is to have the person type the information in Notepad(PC) or Simpletext(Mac). I worked extensively with the support from Activepdf on this problem and couldn't come up with a solution. One work about-if the user wants to use some word features such as spell check (warning: this will drive some folks nuts) is to type it in Notepad first then paste in Word. It will keep the apostrophes intact. (assuming you don't type any new ones) Wish I had a better answer to give... -Original Message- From: Randell B Adkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 10:00 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: TextArea MS Word Here is a quick question: Using MS Word 2000 or even 97, copying information from a document and pasting it into a TEXTAREA box will lose the formatting such as apostrophes.

Feel free to do your own tests at http://130.161.67.253:8500/www/index.cfm (if down, try again later, it is not a production machine). Any suggestions on why this occurs?

If they have a version for CF MX that can do Unicode you should be fine. BTW, probably unicode is not strictly necessary. You could also go search for another charset that has everything you need, but I doubt that is worth it. Jochem __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: soEditor was RE: TextArea MS Word
Flash!!! It currently doesn't support flash, although if you hand code it and use full paths you can get the flash to run on the page. That and I used my own Image Manager tool. There are one or two other issues that can be resolved pretty easily, see the soeditor forum. Layout control is quite good, I have used it on 3 apps, two internal and http://www.cfmevolution.co.uk/devcenter/spinners/ Which is still under construction.

RE: soEditor was RE: TextArea MS Word
You mean placing Flash movies within the content area? ... I'm not real certain exactly how I'm going to implement it as of yet -- my cms has a preview feature which allows you to preview a page if you have it open in the content editor, but when editing smaller bits of content ( menus, news articles which might be a subclass of Text instead of being a subclass of Page for various reasons ), much of the formatting may depend heavily on elements of the page which would be unknown at the level at which the content is being edited, so previewing a menu for instance, might mean nothing without knowing what style sheet or other formatting elements might apply to the page, since the menu might be included in many different pages with many different layouts and style definitions... But now I'm rambling and probably not making a whole lot of sense... So... I'm not real sure how I plan to implement it at this point... I'd like to implement it in a way that's inclusive of the #coldfusionvariable# macro method of embedding these smaller content items within pages and other containers, so I guess I'll be spending some time on those forums. :) It's good to know that you were able to use your own Image management tool without much difficulty, as I may be trying to do much the same...
