I am using tinyMCe with my textareas, they are working fine and in am entering the message as i like the way formatted, When they appear on the below page. It shows the HTML tags and didi not display my Formatting, The way it comes out is like this:

<h1>I think sql server 2005 is stable than others.</h1><p style="background-color: #ff6600"><img src="../tinyMCE/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" /> </p>

Well I hope this need to be resolved...

I also try surrounding your output with
<cfcontent type="text/html">

It is just making my template look bad and not shown the way it should be shown as formatted.
.

This probably didnt worked out...

    how many times have we asked you to post your code? and you still
    haven't done that!!!

    without seeing your code:
    a) for tinymce initialization
    b) for the form that uses tinymce editor
    c) for storing the input in the db
    d) for retrieving data from the db
    e) for html/cfml to display data on the page

    it is pretty much just blind guessing what is wrong...

    since i do not see anyone else chiming in with the same problem, i
    suspect the reason for your problem is elsewhere in your code, not with
    tinymce... i have been using tinymce for over 2 years now and never had
    a problem with it...

    Hi Guys!

    I had this issue (only happened using IE browsers).

    The problem is that in your code for the INPUT Type="submit" name="submit".....

    Try changing the name="submit" to name="submitthis" OR anything OTHER THAN submit as the name.

    yes, i tend to agree with you: he must have typed actual html code in
    the textarea, and thus tinymce has saved it as it has been typed,
    escaping all html tags...

    i have been using tinymce for about 3 years now, and never had this sort
    of problem... but then i never typed html code into it, either :)

    As the output shows the tags directly on the page and is not processing them as html, it leads me to believe that this is the case.

    ok now when i enter the text as

    Hello how are you, in the bigger size say h1 usingthe tinymce option.

    it shows as

    <h1> hello how are you</h1>

    as you talked about the datbase, it stores the value as below in database field.

    <h1> hello how are you</h1>

    I want to show like this:

    http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?pid=20556#p20556

    but the problem is it is not showing as adove.

    it rather shows the html tags

    as also i am outputting the PostMesage value in any textarea or something, using no such function like trim etc,

    Not sure I understand that last sentence, are you saying you ARE displaying the output in a textarea or not? If its in a textarea then that's your problem as the textarea tag doesn't interpret html.

    If it isn't in a text area, (ie. a div) then it certainly should display correctly provided the data is stored correctly.

    If you do a cfdump of the query (qry_ReplyPosts?) what does the stored text look like?

    <cfdump var="#qry_ReplyPosts#">

    The problem is probably an easy one to solve.

    In TinyMCE, if you just go ahead and type in xhtml code into the WYSIWYG text area, TinyMCE will automatically escape the characters you have typed in.

    If you want to check if these have been escaped or not, on TinyMCE there is a "html" button. Click that and it shall show the raw source code of that WYSIWYG - check in there to see if the angle brackets ( e.g. < and > ) are actually coming out as escaped versions or not ( eg &gt; and NOT > as desired )

    As the output shows the tags directly on the page and is not processing them as html, it leads me to believe that this is the case.

    The reason TinyMCE escapes characters is because it is meant for people without html knowledge and will thus prevent as many problems with this as possible.

    Not sure why this is a Coldfusion question though as it relates to it in no way whatsoever.

    Another tip is to look in the database itself and see how it looks stored in there.

    Cheers.

    Is your output inside a textarea?

    Try placing it in a div instead of a textarea as textarea controls don't display formatted html.

    tinyMCE does not like poorly formated code. Review your code for correct formatting, mabe use http://validator.w3.org/ to validate it.
