This WebDNA talk-list message is from

2000


It keeps the original formatting.

interpreted = N
texte = How can simple page formatting (e.g., carriage returns, indents) be retained when saving a record to a database? For example, the WebCat talk list archives display the content of the email message (lower right hand pane), retaining hyperlinks, paragraph stucture, etc. Is this pane of information only one database field?Here's an example to illustrate what I want to do... Say I want to post a meeting agenda that I have in MS-Word to the web. Ideally, I simply want to cut the information from Word, paste it into a single field in an online form (in a backend admin section), hit submit and then have that information displayed in a public read-only template, retaining as much of the formatting as possible. Any suggestions?Thanks,Brian Wachter Stoneport Technologies, LLC (207) 772-3826 ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
