Insert text from database to iframe

[guitardave78]

Hi i am useing an iframe based html editor for an online content manager. I can write html and submit it to the database fine by taking the text from teh iframe into a textarea then into the database. But i would like to be able to go the other way round, to edit existing text from teh database.

Help!

type syntax?

NO.

The iframe take a url as a src not the HTML atself.

Develop a Dynamic page say &quot;iframepage.asp&quot; which will extract these the contents for the the iframe and then use that page in the ifram src tag like . src=&quot;iframepage.asp&quot;

i have used a cut and paste load button that takes the text from database into the submitable text area and pastes it into iframe

it uses the iframe exec command function i will dig out the code to show you

hidden.submitData.focus()
hidden.submitData.select()
hidden.submitData.document.execCommand('copy', false, null)
editbox.focus()
editbox.document.execCommand('paste', false, null)
