Web Editor Control

Features

Web Editor Control Architecture

Namo Web Editor Control is an ActiveX control that is used to compose and edit rich content, which is then passed through the Web browser to content handling scripts on the Web server.

At the client, rich content (formatted text, images, multimedia objects, etc.) is composited in the Web Editor Control editing window, which is instantiated by an tag and initialized by a simple script in the Web document containing the control. Content may come from the local file system, network, or the Internet.

When the end user clicks the Submit button on the page, Web Editor Control passes the contents of its window in MIME, HTML, or text form to the browser, which sends it to the Web server for processing. Scripts on the server can then decode the content (if in MIME format) and insert it into a database, save the parts as files, or insert the content directly into Web documents. On the Windows server platform, MIME decoding utilities are provided in the form of a DLL.

Application Programming Interface

Web Editor Control 6 provides developers with a powerful Application Programming Interface (API) to manage and control all aspects of content retrieval and the client-user interface. With over 80 properties, methods, and event types, the Web Editor Control 6 API offers the most flexible interface for integrating into virtually any web-based application.

Through the API, content can be retrieved from client machines in MIME, HTML, or text form. You can decide whether to retrieve the entire document or just the <body> contents, and which content types to include in the MIME stream. Existing content can also be loaded from a file on the server, a file on the Internet, or from within the script itself into the Web Editor Control 6 editing window for modification by the end user. Scripts may be written in either VBScript or JavaScript, and sample scripts in both languages are provided.
