like most forum when they do posting if they wan to change their text type, size or color the could do so from the pull down but i do not know how tat could works u c
how could user change there text color by juz selecting from the pulldown???
e.g if the user type "testing" and he could change this text to arial by selecting the text type pulldown, change the font size to "size 4" by selecting the pulldown from font size and text to be red in color by selecting "red" from the pulldown...etc

Its mean you want a rich text editor for changing the text to bold italic underline or change font or color e.t.c. If so then find on google by writing rich text editor or contact me I am online on my MSN at [email protected] I will provide u the rich text editor

Hi aprnip,

You got to use a variable for each of such things, that is set to default value as font size, color and other required stuff. Then use that variable within your asp code. In case something is selected from the pulldown, set that as the value for that variable and your code should look like this.

Code:

' size='<%=varSize%>'>Some text

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Cheers!

Code:

<%
    Dim varSize
    varSize= Request.Form("selectSize")
    If len(trim(varSize))=0 then varSize=1 'Setting to a default as 1

    'Dim varColor
    'varColor= Request.Form("selectColor")
    'If len(trim(varColor))=0 then varColor="Red" 'Setting to a default as Red Color

%>
<html>
<body>
<form name="frm" method="post" action="">

<select name="selectSize" class="button">
    <option value="" selected>Select Size</option>
    option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
    <option value="4">4</option>
    <option value="5">5</option>
    <option value="6">6</option>
    <option value="7">7</option>
</select>
</form>

" color="<%=varColor%>">This is MyText of MySize

</Body>
</html>

Similarly add another pull down and do it for Color.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
