Subject: [DOTNET-WEB] Rich text box fear and loathing
I have an app which displays data from a database in html pages. So far
so good. But instead of using the textbox to gather the data, I
embedded a rich text control in an application (freetextbox.org). Ive
rued the day ever since, because users just love to cut and paste from
excel and word tables, which generate the most excruciating html,
tossing the display off and doing other ugly things.
Now that Ive shown the customers Paris I cant take them back to the
asp:textbox Kansas. Freetextbox has "cleanup" functionality, but I dont
particularly trust it - and it assumes users click on the "cleanup"
icon, which of course isnt guaranteed.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions?
Thanks, Mark
P.S. If anyone is planning on using such a control, I strongly
recommend you thoroughly test out the html it generates. The first such
control I used actually generated its own weird html. Im embarrassed to
say I dont catch it for some time.
