Anyone know of good tutorials on how to make an editing tool. I have one now for my blog site but some of the HTML tags get stripped away when I need to re-edit. What I would like is a tool that always me to add the tags that I want by clicking a button and maybe even do a preview kind of thing (like a wiki). The way I work things now is to save my entries to a database table, so I wonder if things get stripped away after being pulled from the table?

I''m thinking about doing some character interruptitation so the HTMNL tags don''t get stripped away - something like '':p:'' for a ''<p>'' and '':-p:'' for a ''</p>. I don''t know. I was just wondering if someone has every tried anything like it in the Ruby world? I imagine that someone has, I''m just looking for a few pointers before I get started. -S -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

not sure, if that''s what you''re looking for, but we used tinyMCE as editor for a few projects and it worked fine. it''s easy to write plugins, eg to upload images and place them (or anything else like tags) in the content. http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I thought such a project would be a really a really cool way for someone like me get more practice under my belt using R0R. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I have been programming in RoR now for almost a year and while I am relatively new to the game I am still of the opinion that almost anything can be done in RoR - my current problem included. My problem with the current working example is that some of the HTML gets stripped away. I do have ideas on how to make it more robust, but was simply looking at this as a way to heighten my programming skill - in RoR and otherwise. While my general knowledge of Rails is pretty grounded, my skills in ruby have room for improvment. I fully understand that it is a LOT of work, which, again, is kind of the appeal. I also know that there are other add-ons out there that do exactly what I am trying to do and odds are I might not get the thing working, but I plan on giving it the ''ol college try.

My problem with the currentI think you''re slightly missing the point. Rails is something that happens server side, whereas this is a client side problem. That doesn''t necessarily make it a bad thing to do, but you won''t further your understanding of rails by doing it.> > working example is that some of the HTML gets stripped away.

I saw that method in use in an example I was looking at the other day and, to be honest, I had no idea of what it was for. The HTML isn''t being stripped out by me, I do know that, because it does display properly, only when I pull it back does some HTML tags (usually the ending tags) get stripped away. Basically what I have is a textarea that I can enter text and HTML into; I save it and get a preview of it in a edit_in_place field (maybe not the way to go, I don''t know, it was a solution I threw together in less than half an hour). It''s when I click on the edit_in_place field that stuff gets stripped away.
