Hi. Really need help on this, please:
I want the main page of my website to display a whole bunch of text. The administrator would be able to change or insert new text from a text area input box or an Iframe pointing to the word document i save that text to. He'd click on a "submit", and what he wrote would appear on the main page.
I also want to enable text formattion and image input, so it seems like textarea is out of the question. I tried the IFrame pointing to a word document, but when i open the page, an upload box pops up asking if i want to open the document, and i don't want that. What i basically want is something like this area i'm typing in where i can input text to post a message, only much simpler. I wanted only to enable the insertion of an image, an hyperlink, and change of the font (size, put bold, put italics).
Got any suggestions on how to solve this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Doesn't work that way with browsers.
You can DOWNLOAD word stuff to your brower, automatically. You can't UPLOAD it without first saving it on the user's computer and then using a separate <FORM> with an <INPUT TYPE=FILE> for UPLOADing it.
What you want is probably exactly this little editor that this forum supports.
I'm not sure which one this one is, but probably the most popular is FCKEditor. You can google for it and download it and try it on your own pages.
Oh...just checked out how this one works, and it's nowhere near as sophisticated as FCKEditor, it looks like. So if you like this, you'll love FCKEditor.

Thanks, I've downloaded it - But now how can I integrate onto my HTML page?
