1) I was told this editor could be used to edit the webpages on the server in real time without having to fiddle with FTP software... is that true?
2) I integrated the javascript version into my main index.htm page, but it always shows up... I imagine this is a tool only I want to invoke; how do I do that?
3) within the FCKeditor module, there are buttons to 'save' and 'preview' but nothing to "load current page" so that I can edit it.
Am I just waay off base on what this tool is designed for? The Wiki is only so much help; it assumes that I am a wiz at HTML/JS/etc, but I'm not. I'm familiar with it, but not a wiz..
Unfortunately I don't use the built in save and browse functions so I can't help you with that. The way I actually do it is to have the user click on a link, it sends the contents the editor needs to another page as the contents of a textarea. When the page loads there is a function called FCK.ReplaceTextArea('id') (I think this is right) and that will put the contents of your textarea into the fck's editing area. Hope this helps, good luck

So when a user is done making changes, how do you get the final code out -- cut and paste? can't you use fck to directly save back to the website somehow?
For the most part all I do is submit it as a form and then send the content to a java action class on my server that then writes the file again with the newly edited content. But that gets away from what you wanted with fck's. If I were you, after you search the forum for other examples, I'd post a new thread with a relevant subject to your topic so people that know what you want may be able to answer. Like I said earlier, I don't use the built in browser and save functionality but I'm sure there are plenty of people that do. Good luck
