Hi,
Recently I found a control called r.a.d.editor on GotDotNet.com 
(http://www.gotdotnet.com/userarea/keywordsrch.aspx?keyword=telerik) and 
downloaded it. I had no problems adding it to my page. Its behavior is 99% 
like the WinForm's RichTextBox (allowing the user to format text, insert 
tables, images, etc.) and it adds a customizable toolbar to edit the 
content. First I thought these guys use ActiveX to provide such behavior. 
When I loaded my ASP page in IE and looked at the page source I couldn't 
find any trace of ActiveX. But what impressed me the most were some 
<script> tags with language properties set to "JavaScript.Encode" that had 
some strange characters enclosed between them. I'm not quite good with 
javascript but this didn't look like JavaScript. Could anyone tell me if 
this is a way to insert a Winform control into HTML because the only other 
way i know is to use an <object> tag. However, if i do it this way the 
client is asked for permission to install the control on the client's 
machine and that's what r.a.d.editor didn't do.

It's javacript
Document.editMode = "on"; to be exact.
 
The javascript is encoded using Microsoft Script encoder(
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script5
6/html/SeconScriptEncoderOverview.asp )
 
So the r.a.d. editor has nothing to do with winforms.
