Nico,
Thanks very much for the response! However, I seem to have confused the
issue -- AFAIK, reading and writing remote files using FTP is *not* what
I want to do.
The closest and most accurate analogy that I can come up with is this:
while browsing websites with Xemacs w3 mode, I come across
(X)Emacs is able to read write remote files using FTP transparently. The
only difference is how you enter the your file name. To access a file located
on another machine (with running FTP server!)
/user@host:file
eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/index.html
You can even use tab
Nico, Nathan, everyone:
Thanks for your responses!
I realize my question was a little misleading, so I'll try to ask it
differently:
If you use Emacs to browse the web, do you ever fill out forms that
have a space for free form comments, sort of what I call web email?
Those are HTML textareas
Randy My original question can then be phrased as, if I do manage to
Randy fill in that box in Xemacs, what do I do afterward to tell Xemacs
Randy I'm done, and it should save (send) the data back to the web?
Sounds like you're using w3 inside XEmacs as your web browser. I haven't
I don't know about emacs itself in terms of editing web pages, but
when I edit web pages, I usually have to FTP them to the web server.
In emacs, the save command is C-x C-s, as you said, but I've only
saved files locally. You may want to check out the O'Reilly book
_Learning GNU Emacs_. It has
Nathan,
Thanks for the response.
When twiki.org is back up (on SourceForge), I'll tell you how I've done
it using vim -- maybe that will give you a clue as to how I might do it
in EMACs.
(And, if my library has the book, I'll check that out.)
