Hi Richard,
Thanks for the better example code.
When I copy colored text or bold faced text
from TextEdit and pasted it into the box it
doesn’t carry over.
Of course if I copy the one sample line you
provided that copies fine and renders fine.
I also tried creating some text with bold
and color
Of course, the other option - depending on your timescale (and maybe
your license) - would be to build it as a LC app, and then 'build for web'.
That way you'd have control over the formatting options you want to
allow/provide.

P.S. but then, I'm strongly averse to any use of JS, HTML,
What is the "junk" you're seeing for apostrophes? Could it be the
Unicode number or character entity?
RE lost styles, like bold and color, are those rendered in the editable

Hi Alex,
Once the HTML is sent, then it becomes an LC thing,
because I have to put the information into an LC variable,
and then after doing a little work on it, put it into the database
using LC database stuff.
If LC had a way to provide direct inputs fields into webpages

It's not really a LC question, it's an HTML thing :-)
textarea etc. only handle plain (unformatted) text.
Googling for suggestions I can only find two common answers:
1. horribly complicated ways to add Javascript to your script to handle
formatting
2. "use TinyMCE"
I'd go for the second al

Hi.
Not sure I understand.
You have an editable field that you cannot type into? Do you get a blinking
cursor in that field if you click inside it?
Perhaps some properties for that field are such that LC is preventing access?

Greetings LC List Members,
I have to create a little chat program with LiveCode on a LiveCode server.
Currently I have a textarea text box to accept the user’s input, but it won’t

faced text. I also have to put that inform
