Maybe that is a better solution than mine. I stopped using the freetextbox control because I don’t like the code that comes with it.
I found fck editor to be the best solution currently as a rich text control.

Now i tried your code but since i have to display the content of the FTB in the same page itself [or inside an iframe] and a post back effect is not prefered in the context, i have to use some kinda ajax support . Any ideas/help would or a solution would be much appreciated.<br /><br />thanks.<br /><br />Ali Hi ivan,

In the end I just ditched it and am working with tinyMCE for the moment to do my ajaxy stuff. I also don't work with atlas anymore.<br /><br />I think you should be able to get the values of the textbox by encoding them during transport.<br /><br />Do a google for javascript encoding and .net url encoding there are a couple of extra characters you need to encode and that should get rid of the problem with the html tags.<br /><br />Cheers <br />Ivan Hi Sean,

Do a google for javascript encoding and .net url encoding there are a couple of extra characters you need to encode and that should get rid of the problem with the html tags.

Ive found that the iframe solution works for small amounts of text and not sure at all about formatting. Im revamping an old site/project and that uses the Freetextbox control. Much of the site now uses ajax, however, im still unable to get the freetextbox control working just right in a updatepanel, even using the iframe workaround.<br /><br />Basically I set the hiddenfields value to the article text, it has alot of formatting and quite long. This works fine, but it seems when the textbox has to actually get the value of the hiddenfield it cant. Im assuming it cant put so much text or cant handle all the formatting in the javascript setTextScript = string.Format("document.getElementById('{0}').innerHTML = window.parent.document.getElementById('{1}').value;\r\n", ftb.ClientID, MainPageField);<br /><br />or <br /><br />Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "setText", setTextScript, true);<br /><br />I however can pass small amount of text through without any HTML tags for formatting.<br /><br />Any ideas would or a solution would be much appreciated, thanks.

or

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "setText", setTextScript, true);

I however can pass small amount of text through without any HTML tags for formatting.
