2) save that complete input to sql db
3) display the data
in db withing a contol which renders the formatting as the tags specify.

Need help
in implementing the affect of the WRITE A NEW POST
On stackoverflow.com
<%--The editor--%
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel7" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<div id="textchanging" onkeyup="textoftextbox('TextBox3'); return false;">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server" CausesValidation="True"
></asp:TextBox>
</div>
<%-- OnTextChanged="textoftextbox('TextBox3'); return false;"
gives too man literals error.
--%>
<asp:Button ID="Button6" runat="server" Text="Post The Comment, The New, Write on Wall"
onclick="Button6_Click" />
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox4" runat="server" CausesValidation="True"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Literal ID="Literal2" runat="server" Text="this must change"
here comes the div
<div id="displayingarea" runat="server">This area will change</div>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<%--The
editor ends--%>
protected void Button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ Label3.Text = displayingarea.InnerHtml;
}
As you see, I have implemented the effect of typing text
in textbox which appears as a reflection
in the div WITH FULLY FORMATTED TEXT ACCORDIG TO THE HTML TAGS USED
The textbox does not allow html! Well the text box doesnot have too, script just extracts what is typed, within letting the server know.
The html of the div tag also changes as typed
in textbox.
Now,
There is a “post” button within an update plane a avoid full post back of page
What I needis when the button is clicked on the value withing the div tag “innerhtml” is passed on to the label.
Yes I know the chnages are only made on the client side,
So when the button click event occurs the server is not aware of the new data within the div tag,
Therefore the server assign the original html withing the div to the lab.
Need help to overcome this,
How is it that what we enter text
in the textbox press the button with coding like label1.text=textbox1.text; and it works even
in update panel, but the aabove code for extracting innerhtml typed at users end similar to yping
in textbox does not work?
