hi ...

i had previously asked this question. but i am unable to find a concrete solution. Pls... if anyone has any knowledge or has done anything of this sort pls respond.

i have a table which saves stories written by different students. its a simple thing..no problem in it. but what i want is that when a teacher selects the story (ie. when she retrieves the story from the databse which the student has saved), she should have extra rights. like she should be able to mark corrections of spelling mistakes by strikethorugh, make something in bold, or highlight in red. how can i achieve this. has anyone done something similar to it?

pls do give me some solution.. i am unable to resolve this. i am using ASP and MS access

thanks a lot!

how about this

pick a method and then lets talk

i am not so experienced as you guys are. I would rather go upon what u experienced people would suggest. What i was initially interested was using word ... but I am totally unware of its consequences. I can understand a lot from the suggestions given ..but those are all .. by u ..who have lots of idea about it. Me being a newbie.. i am totally confused howto start and which method to pick!

i want something simple and easy and which can also be a learning exp for me.

Please suggest something simple ... and give me start . i am all so confused....

well, it's be easiest to just have a text area with buttons overtop like devshed has. They don't even do an insert to where the cursor is, they just stick the tags at the end. So let's say You verify me as a teacher and all that. i click B (bold). This calls a what is it in javascript, prompt? can't remember the name off hand but the one where you enter input. You hit ok, then just tack on document.myform.textarea.value = document.myform.textarea.value + '<b>' + result of input box + '<b>'thingy.

choose your <b> or [b] wisely, it all depends on how you want to store it in the DB... like i said, < will probably want to be converted for security reasons, so use another character like [ instead.
