I want to use DiscountASP's Rich Text Box component as an online Website Content-Authoring System. The basic idea is that the user can log on to a page with the RTB component on it generate some formatted text and graphics and then save it to a HTML file which will be automatically included in a <frame> region on the web site.

It may even be possible to have a front-end page which allows the user to select which region they want to update and to automatically pre-load the RTB component with that page's HTML contents. (And also an archive system for old pages.)

Is this do-able? Does the Rich Text Box Component's functionality encompass all of these capabilities? (ie. HTML import/export and filename pre-loading).


Cheers,
Keith.

i currently use the tool to do precisely that. I have managers update, build and maintain their own web pages/areas.
I insert the textbox values into a database. I havent figured out how to load the data into the text box, but I did the following.

get page data into asp:label
create button // copy to content to text box for edits
then it basically says
labelcontent.Text = richtextbox.Text
then have them do the edits and post back to the DB.

I think you need another module for image insertion.
