anyone here use FCKeditor? - 3/19/2009 14:41:41   
I am using classic ASP, and I have a form created to edit records in a database that already exist. I am using a SQL UPDATE statement to execute this command, and it works fine on all form fields that currently do NOT have an FCKeditor instance associated with them. For the ones that do, the input to the DB is just blank and I can't figure out why. I have my FCKeditor instance set up like this:

<%
Dim aFCKeditor
Set aFCKeditor = New FCKeditor
aFCKeditor.BasePath = "fckeditor/"
aFCKeditor.Value = (rsName.Fields.Item("FCKeditor1").Value)
aFCKeditor.Create "FCKeditor1"
%>


When you open up the form, it correctly displays the information from the recordset into the FCKeditor. However, if I make any changes to that content (which is the purpose of this form), none of the new additions get sent to the DB. Like I said, other form fields that do NOT use FCKeditor work fine when updating them via this form. What am I missing?

We use it in our blogs but the configuration can be quite complicated. I like tinymce as a quick choice for a rich text editor like you want to use. It's easy to configure and one javascript makes it work. The text area just remains the same and on submit the data goes where you want it to (some other editors requires "staging" areas, etc.)
Quick demo here took less than five minutes to set up...

I have looked at TinyMCE but I need something with a File Manager. I know that TinyMCE has one that you can add on to it, but does it work in classic ASP? I have only seen it works for PHP and .NET, neither of which I can use in my environment.

I chose FCKeditor because it had the file manager already with it, and it worked in ASP.

Well, you never mentioned that you wanted to use the file management bits.
Without seeing all of your code and how you have the paths structured and folder permissions set it's difficult to give you any guidance. You'll probably have to give a developer access to your site in order to really troubleshoot.
