My PHP script is at an https location, so no problems there. Currently I had been trying to set the text style of the selection, I didn’t yet try setting the text style of a character range.
The post does seem to be failing though, and given that I don’t need any HTML5 features, only a simple styled text editor that is able to post the styled text to a PHP script, I will try to find some free code for doing that. Or maybe work out how to do it myself! Does anyone know of any HTML and Javascript code for editing styled text? I think I can figure out the JavaScript to post the innerHTML of a Div. > On Sep 13, 2021, at 3:14 PM, Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Hi Colin, > If it is HTML5 deployment you are looking to do from LC, how time critical > is your project?
