Web developer tutorial: JQuery

Introduction
I am going to explain how to create html editor control for asp.net web pages with light weight jquery plugin. Here is the example.

Step 1
Create new visual studio project

Step 2
Download files from here. Add necessary files like shown below

<script src=jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Html_editor/scripts/jHtmlArea-0.8.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="Html_editor/scripts/jHtmlArea.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("textarea").htmlarea(); // Initialize jHtmlArea's with all default values
});
</script>

Full Example

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="SendEmail.aspx.cs" Inherits="AdventureSports.Public.SendEmail" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script src="../HTML_Editor/scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../HTML_Editor/scripts/jHtmlArea-0.8.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../HTML_Editor/style/jHtmlArea.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("textarea").htmlarea(); // Initialize jHtmlArea's with all default values
//window.setTimeout(function() { $("form").submit(); }, 3000);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<textarea runat="server" id="txtText" cols="50" rows="15"></textarea>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

This is the procedure to implement a lightweight HTML editor in your web pages in a simple manner.

Thank you!
