Hi Alex, Once the HTML is sent, then it becomes an LC thing, because I have to put the information into an LC variable, and then after doing a little work on it, put it into the database using LC database stuff.
If LC had a way to provide direct inputs fields into webpages it would be a totally LC thing, but there is no way to do that without HTML. :-( Yes, I saw the horrible Javascript thing. Yuk! While TinyMCE looks interesting, I really wanted to see if there was a solution that didn’t depend on a third party. I will bookmark that website, and if all else fails, I may find I’m stuck with it. Thanks for the suggestion.
