# <HtmlInput>

The HtmlInput tag renders as a rich text editor at run time. It uses the current HTML Editor provider for your DotNetNuke site.

# Syntax

    DataField="string" 
    DataType="string"
    Height="size" 
    ID="string"

# Remarks

The HtmlInput tag enables you to provide your users with an easy-to-use rich text editor. This allows them to enter and format text as they would in a word processor. Behind the scenes, the HtmlInput tag uses the default rich text editor setup for use with your site. The DataType attribute is always string.

Validating the HtmlInput Control: The nature of the HtmlInput control does not allow it to be validated on the client. If you use a validator with this control, set the EnableClientScript attribute to false.

The HtmlInput control has the following attributes:

  • DataField: Name of the parameter in the <SubmitCommand> which will be filled with this control's data on when the form is submitted and/or the parameter in the <SelectCommand> which will supply this control's data when the form is loaded. This attribute is required if the control will participate in operations with your form's data commands.

  • DataType: The type of data this control is supplying to the data commands. This is a Database type. The datatype for the HtmlInput is always string..

  • Height: Height of the control, specified in units.

  • ID: Name, consisting of letters and numbers, beginning with a letter, that uniquely identifies the control within the form.

  • Nullable: If True (the default is False), the control will return a DBNull value if the control is blank or contains just whitespace. If a DBNull value is passed to the control, the control will be set to an empty string. NOTE: Different HTML editors may function differently. XMod Pro will set/read the "StringValue" property on the underlying editor provider. What the individual editor does with that is up to the editor.

  • Visible: Determines if the control is visible (true) or hidden (false)

  • Width: Width of the control in units.
