Is it possible for FCKeditor to look just like an HTML textf

Hi there,

This might be a very simple question for this forum, but I'd be grateful for any advice.

I'm looking to have a TextField on my website that can handle styled text. This isn't possible with an ordinary html input field, so I'm looking for alternatives. FCKeditor looks great and lightweight, but I really need it to look just like a normal textfield, so without the big toolbar on top.

Can someone tell me if this is possible? If so, how would I go about configuring the editor?

Thanks guys.

Re: Is it possible for FCKeditor to look just like an HTML textf

This is something that I need as well, and I've found a partial solution, but it's not that great.

I set the following two lines in the fckconfig.js file:

FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Default"] = [] ;

FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Basic"] = [] ;

...so that the menu would be gone, and I also set the following:

FCKConfig.ToolbarStartExpanded   = false ;
FCKConfig.ToolbarCanCollapse   = false ;

I also configured the editor to be about 35px in height, but the input box is still slightly offset from the other input boxes.

One major problem is that the box still puts in the default <p></p> wrapper around the text that is put in the box. I fixed this only PARTIALLY by doing the following:

FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'br' ;         // p | div | br
FCKConfig.ShiftEnterMode = 'p' ;   // p | div | br

The problem is that when you type in something into the box, it always puts a break tag at the end (<br />). If someone knows how to fix this, please let us know.

It would be very useful if FCKeditor came with some kind of simple input app that would replace basic input fields. They could call it FCKeditor Light.
