Web Editor (Textarea + Field) & Read Mode

HCL Domino Domino Forum

For some reason, I am having mixed results. I have a field that stores xHTML from the web editor (textarea). The user is able to create nice text -w- colors, bold, images, etc… When the form is saved and it is viewed in read mode, I just see the HTML tags/text. What am I missing? I have tried adding a computed text element under each field with a value of the field name, etc. The computed text shows in read and the field/editor shows in edit. Any ideas? Thanks… I even highlighted the computed text and set as passthru. I am sure this is something obvious… as other forms are working. I’m trying to see what is different… not so obvious at the moment.

I was able to do it using a text-editable field instead of a RT field. I need to use a RT field as the field used by the web editor/textarea because the XML agent uses “…htmlitem1 As notesrichtextitem”, etc. Cannot use this, right? …noteitem?

Hi Michael,

I’ve done this before. Once the HTML is in the rich text area it can’t be “shown” as html in read mode using pass-thru html settings or square brackets.

The trick is to make the content pass-thru with lotusscript.

Check out this code I use in the webquerysave of the document:

…

'Code added to make the contents of Body rich text fields passthruHTML

If doc.HasItem(“Body”) Then

Set rtfBody = doc.getfirstItem(“Body”)

If rtfBody.type = RICHTEXT Then

strContent = rtfBody.GetUnformattedText()

rtfBody.remove

Set rtfStyle = session.CreateRichTextStyle

rtfStyle.passthruhtml = True

Set rtfBody = New NotesRichTextItem(doc,"Body")	

rtfBody.appendStyle(rtfStyle)

rtfBody.appendText(strContent)

End If

End If
