Getting the HtmlEditor control to work on a SharePoint 2007 Application Page

Question

I need to use the HtmlEditor control within an application page in SharePoint 2007 but I'm unable to get it to work. Do you have any ideas what I need to do? Using the following aspx code the editor appears on the page but I get JavaScript errors when I try to use it.

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/_layouts/application.master" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.LayoutsPageBase" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="Publishing" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<asp:Content ID="Main" runat="server" contentplaceholderid="PlaceHolderMain" >
    Publishing:HtmlEditor <Publishing:HtmlEditor runat="server"  />
</asp:Content>

To use this code place it in an aspx file within the layouts directory and browse from a SharePoint site (e.g. /_layouts/testpage.aspx). You will also need to have MOSS installed as this is a control from the Publishing namespace.

Hope you can help. Thanks.

James.

Answer 1

I think HTML editor is not intended to use that way.Is it possible to use Content Editor Web Part instead?

Answer 2

I've got it working. It turns out I need to manually add a reference to another JavaScript file, as follows:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/_layouts/1033/form.js"></script>
