Re: CMS - Formatting Content

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 57678
interpreted = N
texte = Many of the editors (mine) use an iframe combined with javascript. I'm not an expert in this, but the research that I've done shows that only IE for Windows supports the DOM object (level I) needed to place emphasis inside the iframe. Excerpt from: http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/dom2i.html "Until recently, developers have addressed this challenge by falling back on JavaScript trickery, such as cleverly placed document.write() statements, framesets, and IFRAMEs, or the use of Internet Explorer's innerHTML() and insertAdjacentHTML() functionality to insert new HTML content. While these methods are successful to some degree, they are usually tied to a specific browser implementation. A specific drawback is that these techniques do little to address the structure of the document in question. For the most part, a string of HTML is simply inserted into the page over and over again, with little regard for what is actually being rendered." "Fortunately, with the advent of W3 compliant browsers, we now have a better approach. The Document Object Model Level 2 (DOM-2), supported in both Mac IE5 and NS6, provides an interface that enables developers to generate HTML on the fly, after the page has loaded. We accomplish this by calling DOM-2 methods to create HTML elements, defining the elements' attributes, and appending them to the document body or existing elements. This article explores some of the basic functionality of DOM-2 for generating dynamic content in the browser." I personally haven't had time to investigate the DOM-2 methods mentioned above, but perhaps that is what Nitai's company is taking advantage of, or as I suggested yesterday, Flash would be cross-browser of course and a java-applet *may* be as well.
