Question

Answer 1

A:

Put tinyMCE's loading sequence into the onload event. There are more elegant ways to do this using one of the JS frameworks, but the basic way is

document.onload = function() { tinyMCE.init ...... }

in the <head> part of your document.

But I get compile error:The name 'txtBody' does not exist in the current context

kenny 2009-12-28 16:50:52

the error is on the line: '<% = txtBody.ClientID %>',

Answer 2

A:

You can use TinyMce server control instead of a simple TextBox. You can find here or another one that written by myself, here.

downloaded tinymce_package_dotnet_1_0a2.zip, and added the dll to the toolbox, then moved the control on the page but got Error Creating Control

kenny 2009-12-28 17:04:42

Maybe I can help, if you post the error message.

Mehdi Golchin 2009-12-28 17:09:14

The type or namespace name 'ICSharpCode' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Do i need to add something else beside, Moxiecode.TinyMCE.dll? (I removed the tinymce folder and tinyMCE.init from the web page)

kenny 2009-12-28 17:16:50

`ICSharpCode` is the root namespace of `CSharpZipLib` and IMO does not have any relation with TinyMce. Does it work at run-time?

Mehdi Golchin 2009-12-28 17:35:08

no, this is the error that is displayed on compile time.Can you please try to open web project and this control yourself?

kenny 2009-12-28 17:47:30

That works for me. Are you using `CSharpZipLib` in your project?

Mehdi Golchin 2009-12-28 18:11:37

no, just the Moxiecode.TinyMCE.dll

kenny 2009-12-28 21:23:28

Required installPath setting is missing, add it to your web.config. You can also add it directly to your tinymce:TextArea element using InstallPath but the web.config method is recommended since it allows you to switch over to gzip compression.

kenny 2009-12-28 21:29:25

Maybe I need to set some thing in web.config? maybe i didn't download the right package(inymce_package_dotnet_1_0a2.zip)?

kenny 2009-12-28 21:33:00

Sorry for delay. Yes, you should set some configuration in the web.config. Check the `tinymce_package_dotnet_1_0a2\tinymce\examples\web.config`.

Mehdi Golchin 2009-12-29 05:37:16

Not I get this: Failed to map the path '/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_src.js'.So DO I need the javascript folder? I thought there is no need of it and the control has it embedded!

kenny 2009-12-29 08:30:45

No, you should copy/paste the tinymce directory in the root of your application.

Mehdi Golchin 2009-12-29 08:43:24

oh, so what is the point for this control if it's not a stand alone?

kenny 2009-12-29 08:51:04

It makes using TinyMce editor simply and IMO, resolves the ClientId problem you have.

Mehdi Golchin 2009-12-29 09:34:30

There is another way too. Set the mode to `textareas` while you have only a textarea in your page. `tinyMCE.init({ mode: "textareas",`

Mehdi Golchin 2009-12-29 10:31:32

I have many textboxes on the page and i need to apply tinymce only on one.

Answer 3

A:

For know I solved this like this:

For the textbox I added OnInit="txtBody_OnInit" event:

protected void txtBody_OnInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "SetEditor", string.Format("SetEditor('{0}');", ((TextBox)sender).ClientID), true);
}

And then put tinymce initialization inside SetEditor(theID) javascript function.

It's not the perfect answer so if there is a better answer I'll accept it.
