Fancy Blog Interface

[section31]

Hi, does anyone know how they some of these blog sites and online email websites create those fancy interfaces for posting stuff.

 

Ex.

 

 

I mean i know the basics of html and I have no idea how they manipulate the textarea like that. Here is my interface for my site i created from scratch...

notice how primitive...It uses bbcode like format for html code.

Sure. There are "programs" like SPAW from Solmetra that do this kind of thing.

or look for web based wysiwyg editors...

thanks...i needed to know what to look for and now i do...

 

I didn't like spaw b/c its not compatible with firefox. I'll keep searching for others...thanks for help.

Nice deal indeed!

 

You were right about SPAW. It is a sweet thing, but if it doesn't support Firefox, I just can't use it.

You might also take a look at this:

 

h**p://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/

 

I think their demo there is version 2.03, but they have 3.0 (beta) that works with Mozilla/Firefox.

 

3.0 Demo is here: h**p://www.dynarch.com/htmlarea/

 

The 3.0 is only available for download from SourceForge (h**p://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itools-htmlarea)

I also suggest HTMLarea. Quite good, and Free (as in Speech and Beer ).
