HTML In Event Editor?

[ChrisStreet]

Is it possible? What I want to do is set an edit box's text to some HTML, with some counters always controlling certain values of the HTML code - such as, for instance, table width, height, etc. Is there anyway I can do this?

The code I wish to customise is:

"<TABLE WIDTH="500" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" BGCOLOR="#ffffff"><TD BGCOLOR="#000000">Insert Text Here</TD></TABLE>"

I've tried to use Str$ and Val$ to keep the numerical values as "text" but it doesn't want to work.

In addition, HTML code features code usage with speech marks, ala "", is there anyway to seperate these from affecting the event editor code? (does that make sense?)

If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nope, you'll have to use the Web Browser Active X control for HTML.

For a speech mark just do "".

I remember there was an example about how to use an edit box to create your own scripting language in MMF. Does anyone have that example because i recall it can do HTML coding. (im looking for this example as an alternative from using other scripting languages)

As for displaying it, you'd have to do that once the file saved because thats impossible to do it realtime like in Dreamweaver.

Ok, thanks for the advice guys... I'm probably a bit out of my depth here.

If you just want to display the raw HTML code then you use "Blah"+str$(Counter blah)+"Blah=""blah""" or whatever.

Theres some good examples in the archives. A lot of them seem to use String Parser. if that helps at all?

are u wanting to program it from runtime or display it?

[MrCyberpunk]

I don't quite understand what you want to do.
If you want to display the above table code in an edit box you'd just use:

"&lt;TABLE WIDTH=""" + Str$( value( "Width" ) ) + """ CELLPADDING=""" + Str$( value( "Cellpadding" ) ) + """ CELLSPACING=""" + Str$( value( "Cellspacing" ) ) + """ .etc .etc
