As of version 0.5, loading content into the editor is fairly simple. 

[b:17194d6a13]A sample in ASP and PHP can be downloaded from the downloads section: http://openmymind.net/download.php?search=ewe_sample[/b:17194d6a13]

The load() method has one required and one optional argument.  The required argument is the container to load the editor into.  The second argument is the content to place within the editor.  For example:
[code:1:17194d6a13]
function onLoad(){
   //Load an empty editor
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer);

  //load a simple message into the editor
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<b>Hello World</b>');

  //dumps an ASP variable into the content
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<%=ddbContent%>');
}
[/code:1:17194d6a13]

The last method _will_ break the edito if the variable contains any single quotes.  An example:
[code:1:17194d6a13]
<?php
   $ddbContent = "How's it going?";
?>
<script language="jscript">
function onLoad(){
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<?=$ddbContent?>');

  //the above line will become this:
  //ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, 'How's it going?');
}
</script>
[/code:1:17194d6a13]

It should be obvious that the above code will break.  [b:17194d6a13]'How's it going[/b:17194d6a13] is an invalid string.


To resolve the problem, create a hidden <div></div> tag, dump the variable content into it, and pass the div tag to the load function.
[code:1:17194d6a13]
<?php
   $ddbContent = "How's it going?";
?>
function onLoad(){
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, document.all.hiddenContent.innerHTML);
}
...
...
//somewhere in your html
<div id="hiddenContent" style="height:1px;width:1px;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;visibility:hidden"><?=ddbContent?></div>
[/code:1:17194d6a13]


Hope that helps!

depending on how you are using it, you could also add slashes.  I pull the data from a database and therefore it is already has addslashes() performed on it. 

For instance:
 How\'s it going.

yup..but that's only true for some databases. MS SQL expects single quotes to be escaped by another single quote:
  [color=darkred:fbd55670f8][b:fbd55670f8]how''s it going?[/b:fbd55670f8][/color:fbd55670f8]

which will still bust how EWE loads a string..but using ASP you could then replace all single quotes with \' and double quotes with \" which I guess would work.

Whichever alternative works best.

Karl

I tried this:

[code:1:ceab16587e]<?php 
   $ddbContent = "Hows it going?"; 
?> 
<script language="JScript">
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<?=ddbContent?>'); 

</script>[/code:1:ceab16587e]

but it doesn't work....

Techone..my examples are probably not very good.  I'll correct them...

but for now, there were two mistakes in them :)

First, I was missing the $ for the variable...ala:  <?=$ddbContent?>.

Secondly, the 
var ewe = new EWE();
ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<%=ddbContent%>'); 

is supposed to be in the onLoad() function.

The examples above should be corrected by the time you see this...

thank you very much karl...
I'll try it immediately

sorry, I'm new in Jscript

[code:1:d57b6bafc7]<script language="JScript">
function onLoad(){ 
   //Load an empty editor 
  //load a simple message into the editor 
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<b>Hello World</b>'); 
} 
</script>[/code:1:d57b6bafc7]

is this right?

yup...that worked for me.

?? it work???

why not at me??

load.php:
[code:1:65c3df9d42] <script language="JScript"> 
function onLoad(){ 
   //Load an empty editor 
  //load a simple message into the editor 
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<b>Hello World</b>'); 
} 
[/code:1:65c3df9d42]

and then run load.php

here is the function i am using to pull content from the HTMLContent field:
 
function onLoad(){ 
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<cfoutput query='load'>#HTMLContent#</cfoutput>'); 
 
when i add tables or spaces i get this error:

function onLoad(){ 
  var ewe = new EWE(); 
  ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '[b:d6068c6655]<TABLE cellSpacing=2 cellPadding=2 align=0 border=2>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<td>&nbsp;</TD>
<td>&nbsp;</TD></TR>
<TR>
<td>&nbsp;</TD>
<td>&nbsp;</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>'); [/b:d6068c6655]

do you know why this is happening... the error is causing nothing to show up in the editor... 

it works when i just type in information without adding spaces or tables. so everything with the database is in tact. it just gets messed up once tables or <P> are added

I found a way, to load and save data from an mySQL Database.
In the Database there are a lot of html pages and it's no problem to load them.

I will prepare a zip if you want which contains all modified scripts

THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!! SEND IT ON OVER TO GAVIN@GAVINVINCENT.COM.....

THANKS A LOT!!

i figured it out with the div tags above.. thanks anyways though :)

techOne can you please also send to this e-mail rtjahaja@hotmail.com

Thanks....

Hello,

I just tried the php-part, it worked withe a standard "echo", but when I load a contnet from a database I get an Javascript-Error...

Here is my source:

<head>
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "","");
mysql_select_db("test",$db);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM inhalt where nummer=777";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$db); 
$data = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$HTMLContent = $data[beschreibung];

?>
<script language="JavaScript" src="source/ewe.js">
</script>	
<script language="jscript"> 
    function go(){ 
    var ewe = new EWE(); 
	ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer, '<?php echo $HTMLContent;?>'); 
	} 
</script> 
</head
<body unselectable="on" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="go();" onKeyDown="dispatcher();">
<div id="eweContainer" unselectable="on"></div>

Has anyone the same problem, or is it a syntax error in the php?

I would suggest using the hidden div technique to load content into the ewe, there are a few postings as to how to do this.  It is possible that you have a ' in the content that you are loading and this would cause the load to fail because it would close the statement too early and leave extra stuff for the browser to figure out what to do with. 

I have had much success with the hidden div's so give it a try.  Just echo into the hidden div.  I would also suggest using a different variable for the php side of the loading, dont know if that would cause a problem or not.

The hidden div trick will solve your problem.  I've explained how to do it more than once, you shouldn't have any problems doing it.

[b:946f70b429]goboay[/b:946f70b429]

The way I have been doing it is :

<HTML xmlns:move>
<head>
<title>Easy Web Editor (EWE)</title>
<? $text="ADSALDJLSAJDLASKJD";
echo"
<script language=\"JScript\">  
  function onLoad(){
    var ewe = new EWE(null, 'sample.css');
    ewe.load(document.all.eweContainer,'$text');
  }
</script>
";?>
<script language="JScript" src="source/ewe.js"></script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="onLoad();" onKeyDown="dispatcher();">
<div id="eweContainer" unselectable="on"></div>
</body>
</html>

Hi to all.
Could some one tell me (if i am only stupid) how can I get this editor 
in use.
For example I have Linux/Apache/PHP working and I have simple
index.php that has only html in content so what do I have to do
if I want to use this editor when I want to update index.php or
if I want to create new page and I want to edit both pages.


I can not get content load or save, Am I missing something???

I followed those examples in forum but result was nothing.

have you checked this out:

Yes I have and I get this php mysql work easily.
But how do I have to change for example save.php or edit.php to get values directly from files index.html or index.php these file are pure html.
This part is to one that I cant get work.  :oops: 
Or if I have textarea on web site, how can I edit this textarea using editor.

Your editor is working very good and it has very nice outfit.
My other project is kind of cms solutation and it is php/mysql based
and there this editor work fine.

Thank you

use the php fopen command and then I would put some sort of distinct marker to signify where to begin the editing and where to end the editing.  Perhaps [edit begin here] and [edit end here] tags or something of that nature.  Then just search through the file and pull the contents between the tags and edit to hearts content then replace that information with the new information.  I have seen this with other editors, but unsure what they were since it has been such a long time.  
Good luck!

if this a multiline variable youre parsing into the javascript load function this will result in an error, you'll have to str_replace the \r and \n to \\r and \\n before parsing, so the variable has no newlines and cariagereturns in the loadfunction script itself.

would reccomend the hidden div technique to eliminate the errors in the javascript load function call.

Thanks chemanfit

I was not thinking at all. First part is do and now I can open chosen content to editor. Next step is to get save.php to work right.

glad I could help, good luck on the saving part.  Don't forget that if you are using the webserver user to write directly to the file, you will need to give it the correct user permissions, especially write.  You are presenting yourself with a security issue since you are giving write access to do that though.  Be careful with the permissions that you set.

Dear all

I don't know any scripting language to edit or modify the page

can any one help me 
what I need is simple:

I want to open the editor and load an html file 
edit it and save it

very simple but I really need help

thanks alot to the guy who will help me

it is simple. One needs an object that line pagings interpreted.
in the HTML there is the <textarea></textarea>.

  function onLoad(){
    var ewe = new EWE(null, '/css/css.asp'); 
    document.getElementById("LoadContent").style.display = 'none';                                    //make the text textarea invisible
    ewe.load(document.getElementById("eweContainer"), document.getElementById("LoadContent").value);  //load textarea
  }
</script>
<script language="JScript" src="/editor/source/ewe.js"></script>
 <div id="eweContainer" unselectable="on"></div>
<textarea name="LoadContent" id="LoadContent" cols="3" rows="3"><%= content %></textarea>             //I gaht the variable

I was banging my head against the wall for an hour on this one.

Thanks
