HTML editor for blog - html

Sorry for asking such a dumb question. But I am not actually getting the name by which I should search this. I need a plugin for blog writing using which user can edit fonts and add image/s. While submitting, the generated html code can be entered into mysql. Can anybody help on this issue...

there are a bunch of text editors for weblogs, but I really like ckeditor. I think your issue has two sides. In the first place you should provide a text editor for users to enter their stuffs. In the second place you should have a server side approach to get what your users entered in order to save in your database.

Try CKEditor. You can download it from http://ckeditor.com/download

How to grab a column from a web browser

In a .txt file, I can hold down the "Option" button and select one or more columns.
Is there an equivalent for grabbing column information on a web page?
I am currently copying-and-pasting the website material into a .txt file, and then started to wonder if that step could be eliminated.
I'm not sure if I understand the question, but maybe this information will help anyways.
If you are just looking for a client tool, the following should be helpful (in chrome): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/columncopy/lapbbfoohlcmlbdaakldmmallcbcbpjb
If you are looking to add a copy button to a web page that will copy text maybe the following will help How to create "Copy" button?
Good luck!
If it's data in an HTML <table> you can copy it and paste it into an Excel file. That should make it a lot easier to grab by columns.

Windows Form to HTML

I was just wondering, did some research on internet as well, is there anyway to export a windows form which is coded in VB as HTML. Doesn't need to be directly I mean it can go over from excel to HTML or any other route which is possible. I just want my user to tick couple of check boxes and see the text which I retrieved from my database.
Thanks in advance.
You might want to try this one:

There's nothing out that that I've seen that is a perfect solution.
I did see this interesting article on CodeProject which looks like it does a rough job of it, and might be sufficient.
However, if it's that simple, and you already know how to code WInForms, you could just bite the bullet and create ASP.NET pages. (Using WebForms instead ov MCV as it's more similar) The two programming/design models arean't really all that different.
there is a function in excel to export an datasheet to an HTML page.
SaveAs >>>> Html page or web page.
And the same goes for Word.
Good luck

Inserting select tag in Umbraco?

I'm currently working on a project using Umbraco and the client has asked for a drop-down menu with the states and once selected the cities in that state will be displayed.
When I'm in the text editor, it will save tables, but once I input a <select></select> tag or <option></option> tags and save the file and go back into it my coding will be converted to normal text. It doesnt seem to want to accept or is there a way to insert these, and if there is, is there a way to do it without creating a new doctype? The hours have been budgeted and I'm trying to find a quick fix if possible.
Thanx in advance.
Correction: It doesn't simply convert it to just plain text but the entire <select>/<option> tags will be completely gone and all that will remain is what was between the tags.
You cannot do this in the rich text editor, for this to work you need to create a macro (you have a choice: XSLT / Web User Control or Razor).
In said macro you will be able to render the dropdowns you want, if you're familiar with ASP.NET a user control will probably be most convenient, binding it to a datasource.
But it sounds like you're in over your head, as you haven't yet mentioned how you plan to post and save the form. You really should provide some more details on that.

More Code Assist in Eclipse PDT For HTML

I am trying to come over from dreamweaver to eclipse.
In eclipse when I am in a php file writing html. If I just type a "<" then the code assist popup will come up with all the options I can choose from.
I would like to know if the code assist can appear in more places though.
If I type "<div" and hit space can I get another code assist popup? If so, how?
after "<div" (or any other tag), just enter a space and then hit Ctrl+Space:

Some HTML tags (e.g. IFRAME) and Javascript in Joomla 1.5 articles are automatically removed when using the WYSIWYG editor

When using a WYSIWYG editor in Joomla 1.5 to create website content I am not able to freely insert HTML tags, such as IFRAME as the HTML tags will be automatically removed on saving the article. I can either configure Joomla not to use a WYSIWYG editor which makes editing articles a bit of a pain, or I can force the HTML code into the article using MySQL Query Browser and altering the article content directly in the site's database. Doing this is not only cumbersome but also ineffective, because every time someone edits the article from the Joomla back end WYSIWYG editor, the inserted tags will be removed by the editor again.
Is there a way of inserting an IFRAME (or perhaps JavaScript) into a Joomla 1.5 article, without turning off the WYSIWYG editor or hacking away at the database?
I had the same problem that you are facing. I used Jumi to solve that. It works very well.
Short answer: no. Joomla knows best :P
But seriously, you can turn off the WYSIWYG for just your user. Go to the 'User Manager', select your account, and set the 'User Editor' preference to be 'Editor - No Editor'. That way you can type in whatever tags and code you want, without WYSIWYG borkage. But every other account on the site will still have access to their WYSIWYG's.
Doesn't take too long to toggle the WYWIWYG that way when you need to do a bit of precise HTML/Javascript/etc coding.
Actually, it depends on what you want to put in your IFRAME. If it is a URL, then you can create a "Wrapper" module containing the URL you want. Type a unique name into the "Position" field in the module. Then, you can display the results in an article by inserting the following where you want the results to appear {loadposition XXXX} where XXXX is the unique name you typed into the module's position field.
I think by using JCE Editor in joomla you are able to fix all these problem.
If you use the JCE Editor for joomla It will allow you to customize what tags are allowed. THe default Joomla editor will strip the tags out. I have also ran into issues if you toggle the editor at all it will remove them on submit. I have found the only way to do this is either with a wrapper, or a custom code module.
