I am looking for a self-contained solution For instance is creating a hidden instance of TinyMCE on the summary page a viable solution? i.e. However the additional column idea represents significant overhead, both in testing, deployment and migration from earlier versions. The plain text format also doesn't support showing pictures inside the message, although you can include pictures as attachments. Then the tooltip can just get the plaintext version out of the datbase whilst the grid displays the HTML. Plain text This format works for all email programs, but it doesn’t support bold or italic text, colored fonts, or other text formatting. You could say that a new database column is needed: The existing one to hold the HTML version of the Comments field, and a new one to contain a plaintext version of the comments field. The tooltip needs to contain a plaintext version of the comments field. If the user wishes to peek at the contents of the Comments field then a mouseover displays the tooltip. In order to keep the grid-size small the HTML created by TinyMCE is truncated to 30 characters. There is no TinyMCE editor on this page because we don't want to edit anything, just display it. Hi, I'm not sure what exactly you'd like to achieve.

One of the columns in the grid is the Comments field which contains the HTML created by TinyMCE. Get Plain Text is a small and quick clipboard extender. Get Plain Text can do only one operation but does it like no other :) Every time you run it, the utility changes the content of the clipboard, removing any text formatting, including fonts, sizes, colors, embedded images but leaves the main thing - plain text. On another web page a summary of the electronic logs are shown in a grid. Get Plain Text is a freeware solution to this problem. The contents of the comments field are saved to the database as HTML. TinyMce is used on a web page to edit a comments field for an electronic log book application.
