I'm needing a tool that could let a normal user to update a web page, HTML-formatted from a text field within a Zope's form, just like the Compose page at Hotmail, when selecting "Rich Text Format".
Does anyone know how to do it? I've tried to find out the technology behind that page, but guess I didn't get too far. Did you look at the ZWiki product (--> zope.org)?

Yes I did, but I guess it doesn't work for what I have in mind, wich is a sort of simple html editor within a text field. As I said before, the only place I've seen something like that is at Hotmail. Has anyone tried to parse HTML code to Zope, from a WYSIWYG-style java applet text field? Ausum Dieter Maurer wrote:

Hi Ausum, Do you mean a text field that shows a row of formatting buttons at the top for 'bold', 'italic' 'add link' etc. There is an ActiveX control that is built in to IE Explorer 5.x - you just have to call it from your page. Here's the information from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/edit/ref/cncpt.asp If you get it working with Zope (which shouldn't be a problem) let us know. The Manila/Frontier CMS uses it as a default and it works well. It's very handy when you have users who have basic word processor knowledge (i.e. they know enough to select text first then click a formatting button) but can't be trusted with hand coding html.

There was a start at a product doing this (called ZIE) by Johan Carlsson , but it looks like it was aborted quite some time ago. Dont know about its status. You could try how far it would get you, tho see: http://www.zope.org/Members/johanc/ZIE hth Rik
