Actually incorporating the Rich Text Editor

May be more difficult than building it..
The rich text editor is built into an ASP ‘control’ so it can be re-used and customized server-side, currently all of the HTML for the textarea, iframe and toolbars are put into the page through this control depending on it’s properties. A script tag is embedded into the […]

Rich Text Editor - Third Iteration

linky linky .. let me know what you think.
I’m finished with this little project now.
