Client Browser updates database with formatted text

<i><b>Originally posted by : Robert Stevenson (i_need_a_unique_name@hotmail.com)</b></i><br />Here is the issue:<br /><br />A web site accessed by several clients. They write documents in a message text box (similar to this forum one I guess) then sumbit it. It gets put into a database and the document they write displayed using ASP. <br /><br />I have no problem with this so far. However how do I provide a form which allows them to enter formatted text? (possible cut and pasted from word etc).<br /><br />Thanks<br />Robert<br />

Hotmail does it but I rather suspect that this is an active-x thing.<br /><br />------------<br />steve at 5/5/2000 5:37:44 PM<br /><br />This isn't very easy but a few ways is imbedding straight html into the text box or puttin <pre> </pre> tags for preformatted. <br />
